EATING & BODY IMAGE
Disordered Eating Disordered eating exists on a spectrum and doesn't always meet the criteria for a formal diagnosis — but it can still cause significant physical and emotional harm. Whether you're restricting, bingeing, purging, or engaging in other unhealthy eating patterns, therapy can help you understand the emotional function food is serving, address the underlying issues, and develop a healthier relationship with eating and your body.
Body Dysmorphia Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) involves a preoccupation with perceived flaws in appearance that others may not notice or see as significant. This preoccupation can consume hours of the day and lead to significant distress and avoidance. Therapy — particularly CBT — can help you challenge the distorted thoughts driving body dysmorphia and reduce the behaviors that maintain it.
Diet Culture Recovery Diet culture sends powerful messages that our worth is tied to our size and that controlling our bodies is the path to happiness and health. Recovering from diet culture means unlearning these messages and rebuilding a more peaceful relationship with food, movement, and your body. Therapy can support this process by exploring the beliefs and experiences that have shaped your relationship with your body and helping you find a more compassionate and sustainable way forward.
