Yoga. Some researchers agree that yoga may have beneficial effects as a complementary treatment for eating disorders. Yoga can help these people by increasing their sense of well-being and by promoting their access to relaxation.

A recent study carried out on 54 adolescents suffering from eating disorders demonstrated a better effectiveness of standard treatment when it is coupled with supervised practice of yoga at the rate of 2 sessions per week for 8 weeks.⁸.

Art therapy. This form of therapy uses different forms of theArticle (dance, theater, plastic and visual arts, etc…) as mediator and means of expression. Art therapy allows the patient to come into contact with the other by means other than by speaking. It is a new way of communication to express your emotions and your experiences.

Most people with bulimia have difficulty expressing their emotions and may resort to excessive behavior. The art therapist will be able to accompany the person to express himself, but it can also bring him a broader vision of his personality and the possibility of renewing, by the means of the creation, a living relationship with himself.

Hypnosis. Current research, still in progress, would show some interest in the use of hypnotherapy for the treatment of eating disorders.
