Bulimia

Question

     Hi, Del, Could you please tell me which of the scripts in your Great Escapes books  would be suitable for bulimia - if any?  This female patient was anorexic from age 17 to about 21 and then started binging and purging. The B and P is intermittent - every 3 to 7 days when she's "stressed", anxious and worried. Today we worked on the emotional components with EFT and based on some of what she told me we did a short hypno session on her choice to find more useful ways to handle her stress, and B and P no longer needed, etc.  However, a good script, would be handy.  Your scripts have been so helpful; I’m hoping you can give me some specifics.

Answer

     Here's how I'd approach it, with any or all of the following scripts, or adaptations of the ideas:

               1.  The problem-solving script in GREAT ESCAPES, Volume III

               2.  “Breaking Habits #1” in the same volume

               3.  Ideomotor for source in same volume (not the Ideomotor   Questionnaire for weight control, but the one created for seeking the source of any problem)

               4.  Lots on self-esteem in Volumes II and III

               5.  Being willing to release habits (Volume VI)

      I would use regression if the above doesn't seem to catch hold.  Once she responds, then you can use any of the weight control scripts in Volumes II and III.

      Anything you might have that has to do with loving your body would be important; just throw in some positive comments about it. Using some blessings on parts of her body she's having trouble with can also be helpful in learning to appreciate the body one has.
