Welcome to this site which I hope will answer some of your questions about eating disorders and the Lightning Process (LP). Having supported many people to find a healthy relationship to eating and food, I know how complicated finding solutions and answers can be. As you browse the site I am sure there will be some questions that you need answering by talking to a real person. Please use the 'Find A Practitioner' page to find your local practitioner who is there to support you as you find more about the LP and will be very happy to answer any questions you may have.

One of the major findings in eating disorders is a dysregulation of certain hormone systems (called the HPA axis). The hormones involved include adrenaline, nor adrenaline, dopamine and serotonin. Eating disorders are an excellent example of the interaction between the brain and the body - the way we perceive our body affects what we feel we can eat; and the lack of effective nutrition affects the way our bodies and brains work. The Lightning Process uses tools developed from the theory of the brain body connection which are designed to restore good function to this complex hormonal and neurological system.

Whatever the factors that have caused your illness, there are some key questions the Lightning Process will address:

Why has this illness affected you so profoundly?
Why hasn’t everyone else, exposed to the same factors, had the same health issues? And most importantly
How do I get back to wellness?

Due to the nature of the training we cannot guarantee results as everyone is different, however we have received a considerable amount of positive feedback from clients with the varied symptoms that many people with eating disorders experience.
