Doctor Harbans Nagpal - Psychoanalyst

Specialised in the treatment of bulimia and smoking


During this pandemic due to Covid-19, all of the appointments in my Doctolib calendar are for teleconsultations, only, not office consultations. The times given in the calendar are for the time zone of France, European Central Time. You can also email me for an appointment. I will confirm your appointment, taking into account the time difference between your city and Paris. I have patients in India and America, with no problems. We will start the teleconsultation by phone. I will come towards you first. We can then continue on Facetime, Whatsapp, Zoom or Skype. If you cancel at the last moment (less than 24h) the consultation will be owed. Doctor Nagpal.

News

Good news! It is possible to repair almost any psychological trauma.
We psychoanalysts have to repair the psychological disorders or breakdowns of the personality: lack of confidence, inhibitions, depression, anxiety attacks, school problems, sexual difficulties… These breakdowns can be small or devastating. But the good news is that they can nearly always be repaired

My thesis on bulimia and smoking.
My thesis is that both these conditions, of eating and smoking, are first of all psychological disorders. To stop smoking and over-eating, the patient has to first make an inner psychological change.

Obesity, over eating and bulimia respond well to my method
My experience of the last few years allows me to say that it is possible to cure simple nervous eating and snacking fairly quickly. These eating disorders are especially common in certain professions - actresses, dancers, models, gymnasts, jockeys ... who need to keep their weight down professionally. They are treatable if caught early. Chronic bulimia nervosa, with vomiting, takes more time, but it is highly curable by my method. Anorexia nervosa is also treatable if the patient is ready to do this work on herself, but many are not. Motivated obese patients who are ready to look at themselves in therapy and increase their walking every day, can be greatly helped.

My method: the writing cure.
Through my work with my patients and with children, I have taken “the talking cure” one step further and developed the writing cure. The therapist writes down, word for word, quickly and in pencil, the patient’s discourse as he or she speaks. And at the next session we read out what was said the last time. By this method the beneficial effects of the talking cure are multiplied. The patient hears what he said a second time. He gets distance and perspective on his own words. This allows us to wipe out more completely certain passages and write new ones in their place. I have adapted this method to the treatment of bulimia and smoking. It can also be done at a distance, from home.

As you find the missing words, as you resolve these issues in your mind, there is a delicious change. Instead of a craving at the mouth (for food, cigarettes, tea, coffee, chocolate, cannabis) there is the opposite: fullness, deep satisfaction. You feel at last a calm in the chest, a mental release from the demons you were struggling with inside your head all these years.

Our advantages


    What is the cost?
    My fees are not so expensive. My normal rate is 100€ per session.

    I reserve some time for my Indian patients. My fee for them is 4000 Rupees per session.

    If you cancel at the last moment (less than 24h) the consultation will be owed.
