FAQs
Do You Struggle With Disordered Eating Or An Eating Disorder?
If you do, you know "IT'S COMPLICATED!" Loved ones may see your eating disorder only as an enemy. But you know it has gotten you through a lot . Granted, the cost to you may have been pretty high. The good news is that recovery is possible, and it does not require getting rid of or hating any part of you!
Does Kindness To Yourself Feel Wrong or Out of Reach?
Some people are worried that compassion for themselves will make them weak or lazy. But self-compassion is not about being "too nice" to ourselves or letting ourselves get by with bad behavior. Compassion is a skill that can be learned! Suprisingly, it is often key to making the changes we long for.
Are You Living With The Effects of Hard Life Experiences?
Our brains wear "history colored glasses." And hard experiences teach hard things--about ourselves, relationships, and what to expect in this world. Sometimes those learnings are no longer helping like they once did. This is what trauma work is all about-- not about reliving the bad things that happened!
Are You Tired of Living Under Diet Culture's Rules?
What if our bodies are not projects to be managed, but living beings that are worthy just as they are? If idea this sounds appealing but too good or scary to be true, you might be ready to explore Body Trust, a different way of relating with your body. Letting go of trying to earn your dream body is not easy. But after the grief of letting go of false promises there is so much more room for joy and freedom!
