Bulemia Nervosa

Bulimia Nervosa is a serious psychiatric illness characterised by recurrent binge-eating episodes (the consumption of abnormally large amounts of food in a relatively short period of time). Binge episodes are associated with a sense of loss of control and immediately followed by feelings of guilt and shame, which then leads the person to compensatory behaviours such as self-induced vomiting, fasting, overexercising and/or the misuse of laxatives, enemas or diuretics. This issue is beyond the scope of Life-Coaching.  If your client presents with this issue, you should always refer them to a medical professional and follow up to ensure that they have sought help.
