“Method of Psychological Correction of Eating Habits”.

Author is Ass. Prof. I. Varaksin, Psychotherapist, Psychologist, Physician

Dr. I. Varakisi have done a research on root courses of Obesity and pathological eating habits

Here are his findings.

Here are the findings of his researchMain courses of extra weight are related to

- Social- Psychological – subconscious mind- Anatomical- Biochemical - metabolic factors

Social courses- Influence of micro, macro social environment- Media- Traditions- Socializing with a help of food

Psychological causes - subconscious setting and emotional connections related to food.

Here we have a power of our subconscious mind:-food addiction-food temptation-over eating reaction on stress-using food as method of overcoming the boredom-psychological dependence from food-using food to get enjoinment and to be happy

FOOD ADDICTION IS COMPERED TO DRUGS ADDICTION

We can compare eating habit with other habits

What is habit?

It is related to record in our subconscious mind, memory, filling, thoughts, emotional connection, attitude towards food Obesity is caused by wrong eating habit. So it is something to do with our mind.

Example of habits:

- When the child is sucking the finger- Smoking- Taking drugs- Alcohol- Eating habit-Taking a lot of painkillers

and others

When the person is developing a bad habit it is very difficult to get reed out of it

Bio - chemical,anatomical factors

- Caloric Disbalance- Hedonic factors - endorphins- Mineral, protein, vitamin, hormonal, lipid disbalance- Anatomical factors – like expanded stomach(All those factors influencing on the different chains of body metabolism)

Lets summarize:Main courses of obesity are related to

- Social- Psychological – subconscious mind- Biochemical - Anatomical factors

More than 17 main factors are described by Ass. Prof. Varaksin.

Do you think,

That using one tablet, or dieting, or exercising will be possible to change all those factors which are making person to eat more.

There is no one tablet or one method which can work on all those different courses.

Combination of several methods must be use in helping people to lose weight

Usual methods for the weight loss are low effective due to very narrow approach to this so complicated problem.

Hereditary obesity dose nor exist.

All obese people have a wrong eating habits!

How to treat Obesity and extra weight

We need to address all causes of obesity- Psychological subconscious - Metabolic, - Anatomical- Social

Psychological courses we address with Psychotherapy.

Ass. Proff. Varaksin developed Method of Psychological Correction of Eating Habits

He studied persons subconscious mind settings towards the food: obsessive thoughts about food, attitude.., emotional connections, food addiction, food temptation…

And as a result of those study he created course of Psychological Correction of Eating Habits-

Psychotherapy of Obesity and Extra weight

based on different Theories of Personality: Psychoanalytic, Humanistic, Cognitive, Behavioral, Social learning…

Authors of those theories are well known scientists in Personality Studies like: Eric Ericson, Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, Alfred Adler, Karen Horney, Gordon Allport, Raimond Cattell, Abraham Maslow, Carl Rogers, Skinner, Albert Bandura, George Kelly and others.

In the Method of Psychological Correction of Eating Habits we use different psychotherapeutic technics like: - Psychoanalysis - Psychosynthesis- Persuasion and encoding- Auto training- Tranquilizing psychotherapy- NLP…Huge knowledge and huge intellectuality were used in creation of this method.

I use this method in Kenya for the past 12 years.
