What is Bulimia Nervosa?

Bulimia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by cycles of binge eating followed by purging behaviors, such as vomiting, using laxatives, or excessive exercise, to prevent weight gain. During a binge, individuals often feel out of control and consume large amounts of food in a short period, followed by intense guilt or shame that leads to purging. This harmful cycle can have serious physical and psychological consequences, including digestive issues, electrolyte imbalances, and mental health challenges like anxiety or depression.

People with bulimia nervosa often struggle with a distorted body image, driven by an intense fear of gaining weight. The disorder can take a severe toll on both physical health and emotional well-being. Left untreated, bulimia can lead to long-term health complications, but with the right treatment and support, individuals can break the binge-purge cycle and restore balance in their lives.

INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING for Bulimia Nervosa

Individual counseling is a cornerstone of bulimia nervosa treatment at Virtue Recovery Las Vegas. Through personalized one-on-one therapy sessions, individuals work with experienced therapists to explore the underlying emotional triggers and behaviors that contribute to their disordered eating. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is often used to help individuals identify distorted thought patterns, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and build a more positive relationship with food and body image.

In addition to CBT, individual counseling may incorporate other therapeutic approaches, such as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) or mindfulness-based therapy, depending on the individual’s unique needs. These sessions provide a safe, confidential space for individuals to address their challenges, set recovery goals, and receive ongoing support throughout their healing journey.

Trauma-informed care for Bulimia Nervosa

At Virtue Recovery Las Vegas, we recognize that trauma often plays a significant role in the development of bulimia nervosa, which is why we offer trauma-informed care as part of our treatment approach. Trauma-informed care focuses on creating a safe and supportive environment that acknowledges the impact of past trauma on an individual’s relationship with food and body image. Our therapists are trained to help individuals explore how trauma may have contributed to their eating disorder and work on healing those emotional wounds.

This approach integrates therapies like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness practices to address both trauma and disordered eating behaviors. Trauma-informed care ensures that individuals feel empowered throughout their treatment and helps them develop healthier coping mechanisms for managing emotional distress without turning to harmful behaviors.

Dual Diagnosis treatment for anorexia nervosa

Dual diagnosis treatment at Virtue Recovery Las Vegas is designed for individuals with bulimia nervosa who also struggle with co-occurring mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, or substance abuse. We understand that these conditions are often intertwined, and treating them simultaneously is critical for long-term recovery. Our dual diagnosis program integrates evidence-based therapies that address both the eating disorder and the underlying mental health issues, helping individuals develop the tools they need to manage both conditions effectively.

Through a combination of individual counseling, group therapy, and psychiatric care, we provide a holistic approach to dual diagnosis treatment that fosters comprehensive healing. By addressing the psychological roots of both bulimia and co-occurring disorders, we help individuals build a stronger foundation for lasting recovery and improved quality of life.
