Ordered living?
July 29th, 2009 by Jayne Cox - The Body Image Expert
More and more women are contacting me in their 40s, 50s and 60s, seemingly caught in chaos. Generally the initial contact is for some kind of recognized pattern of disordered eating and they want to experience my therapy and/or coaching services . After a brief chat we soon come to realize that its not just their eating that is disordered but their lives.
Common issues include:
No balance of work and home life over working, emails 24/7 without boundaries!
No children and no time children have left home Or they are child free and shouldnt they be superwoman?
Cluttered thinking and living home is a battle ground of untidiness and all or nothing thinking ensues
Mid life - £s spent on quick fixes as ageing is bad, right?
Families - love them BUT!
Relationships cant live with them and cant live without them
Any of these sound familiar I wonder?
The good news is you can regain control over your life and the experience can be fantastic. Yes you may feel unsure or even frightened at the concept of change BUT its all possible. Interestingly clients tend to seek support when theyve had quite a journey through life already and undertaken many self-help directions, books, seminars and motivational CDs, to name but a few. Then all of a sudden the idea of sitting with someone wholl be there with them, supporting them and motivating them to get all they can from life seems to appeal. Dealing with disordered eating once and for all and throwing the diet books, of the past, in the recycling!
So nows the time to look to change, you deserve the best days of your life to be just that!
