Private Anorexia Treatment in Spain
One-to-one anorexia rehab focused on emotional healing, body-image restoration, nutrition support, and co-occurring addiction recovery in a luxury setting.
Anorexia nervosa is not simply about food, weight, or appearance — it’s a complex mental health condition often driven by pain, perfectionism, trauma, and a fractured relationship with the self. At Sea Recovery, we offer discreet, private anorexia rehab in Spain for adults who require an emotionally safe, non-clinical space to heal. Our approach is deeply personalised, one-to-one, and focused on full restoration — physical, psychological, and emotional.
We work with clients who have lived with anorexia for years, those who’ve relapsed after inpatient care, and those who are high-functioning but suffering in silence. Whether anorexia exists alone or alongside addiction, trauma, or depression, our team is here to support your recovery with warmth, precision, and expertise.
What Is Anorexia Nervosa?
Anorexia nervosa is a psychiatric illness that involves intense food restriction, extreme fear of gaining weight, and a distorted perception of the body. It is the deadliest mental health disorder worldwide — not only due to physical complications, but because of its emotional toll, isolation, and suicidality.
Symptoms may include:
- Severe calorie restriction or refusal to eat
- Obsessive control over food choices and preparation
- Compulsive weighing, checking, or mirror use
- Withdrawal from friends, family, or social events
- Intense guilt after eating
- Cold intolerance, fatigue, hair thinning, or menstrual irregularity
But beneath these behaviours is often a much deeper wound — involving control, shame, or a desperate attempt to cope with something unspoken. That’s where our eating disorder treatment begins: with what’s underneath.
The Psychological Grip of Control & Identity Loss
Many clients with anorexia report that it began during a time when life felt chaotic or out of control. Restricting food becomes a way to assert power, feel accomplished, or numb overwhelming emotion. But over time, what begins as control becomes a trap — and identity becomes fused with the disorder.
At Sea Recovery, we gently help you separate your identity from anorexia. You are not your illness — and your worth is not your weight. Through identity restoration therapy, emotional processing, and somatic grounding, we support you in reconnecting with who you are beyond the disorder.
When Anorexia and Addiction Intersect
It’s common for anorexia to coexist with food addiction, substance use, or prescription misuse. You may use alcohol, caffeine pills, or stimulants to suppress appetite, or binge and purge in secret — even if your primary diagnosis is restrictive eating. This is known as dual diagnosis, and it requires a nuanced, specialised approach.
Our integrated programmes treat both the eating disorder and any co-occurring addiction or trauma, ensuring no part of your experience is ignored. We never pathologise — we listen, stabilise, and rebuild with care.
High-Functioning Anorexia: When No One Knows
Many people with anorexia appear outwardly successful, composed, or “in control.” You may hold a job, socialise occasionally, or exercise obsessively without raising concern. But inside, the disorder runs your day. You plan every meal, obsess over numbers, and feel unworthy or empty — even when praised for your discipline.
We understand that high-functioning anorexia is still anorexia. At Sea Recovery, we treat you with respect, not pity. You don’t have to be “sick enough” to deserve help. If your relationship with food and your body is affecting your life, that’s enough.
Therapies We Use in Anorexia Recovery
Your treatment at Sea Recovery is never one-size-fits-all. We tailor every session to your story — delivered one-to-one, in a peaceful environment. Our core therapeutic modalities include:
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) – to dismantle black-and-white food rules and perfectionist beliefs
- Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) – for emotion regulation, impulse control, and self-soothing
- ACT therapy – helping you create a values-based life beyond anorexia
- Art and expressive therapy – to connect to feelings where words fall short
- Yoga and somatic therapy – restoring trust in the body, breath, and inner calm
These therapies are combined with identity work, attachment healing, and nutrition planning — all done with warmth, privacy, and dignity.
Relationship Impact: Shame, Secrecy & Disconnection
Anorexia often isolates. You may avoid meals, cancel plans, or feel misunderstood by even your closest relationships. Guilt and shame can make it hard to be honest — especially when no one sees how much you’re suffering.
At Sea Recovery, we create a space where your truth can be shared without judgement. If needed, we offer relational and attachment therapy to help you rebuild connection — not just with others, but with yourself.
Rebuilding a Relationship with Food and the Body
Healing your relationship with food requires patience. We offer private, non-triggering support with registered professionals who understand the emotional impact of nourishment. You’ll never be forced to eat in front of others or made to follow generic plans.
Instead, our approach involves nutritional rehabilitation that respects your emotional safety. This includes:
- One-to-one meal support with gentle accountability
- Gradual reintroduction of feared foods
- Mindful eating and interoceptive awareness work
- Body image sessions to reframe self-perception
As the body is fed, the mind begins to open — and your capacity for self-trust, presence, and joy returns.

Aftercare and Relapse Prevention
Lasting recovery from anorexia is not about willpower — it’s about structure, support, and continued connection. That’s why we offer:
- Life skills development to support social reintegration
- Ongoing therapy and check-ins via video or in-person options
- Guided return-to-work or return-to-study planning
We help you prepare for the challenges of daily life after residential care — with structure, not pressure. Whether it’s building a new morning routine, navigating food in public, or learning to trust your instincts, we’ll guide you through each step.
