  Could You Be Dealing With A Binge Eating Disorder? When people think of eating disorders, they generally think of conditions like Anorexia and Bulimia; however, binge eating is also a common eating disorder and can seriously affect a person’s mental health. It’s not uncommon for someone to binge on comfort food after a long day, but this could be a sign of a destructive issue. At  Life Resolution s, we offer specialised services for treating binge eating and bring a sense of control and health to your life again. Mary Magalotti On Identifying Binge Eating Disorder Someone is considered to have a binge eating disorder when they repeatedly consume large amounts of food during a distinct period (e.g. over a 2-hour period) and what is eaten is considerably more than what most people would eat over the same time frame. Since overeating is not uncommon and is often associated with special occasions, this disorder can be hard to spot. If you are eating quite rapidly,...

  Imagine you’re going for your dream job. You walk into the interview room and realise it is a group interview. Your heart sinks. You’ve been working towards this position your whole career. You are exceptionally trained for the role, but you actually don’t realise that. You sit down, feeling shy and self-conscious. You start to compare yourself to your competitors, thinking up reasons why they’re better than you. You tell yourself you don’t stand a chance now. The interview begins, and questions are thrown around the room. But you’re too scared to answer out of turn, and when you speak your voice is shaky and lacks confidence. You think you know the answers, but what if you’re wrong? What will everyone think of you? The interview ends, and you walk out silently, feeling the dread of the lost role in your heart. Does this scenario sound familiar to you? Does it sound like something that you could experience? You may be dealing with poor self-esteem and confidence. However, you sho...

  It is said that true love never runs smoothly. No relationship is perfect, and both parties must put in the work to keep the relationship strong, happy and healthy. However, in modern times, too often, we turn our backs on a loving relationship rather than face the adversity and find our way back to one another. Here at  Life Resolutions , we believe in mending connections rather than discarding them. Sometimes, all a couple needs is the assistance of a psychologist, who can act as an outside observer and provide clarity on a disagreement, an open space for healthy communication, mechanisms on how to live together, or anything else your relationship may require. Couples Counselling At Life Resolutions At  Life Resolutions , our principal psychologist  Mary Magalotti , CEO and Founder,  Jodie Brenton  and our team of mental health professionals are passionate about providing quality counselling to couples to help them to overcome difficulties and to streng...
