Therapy for Eating Disorders and Body Image
Disordered Eating: Obsessions and Shame
It’s not working anymore.
The very thing that used to bring some relief, comfort, and a sense of control has now become unmanageable.
Body image just keeps getting worse. Self-loathing is at an all-time high. The obsessions with food and body are all-consuming.
The shame can make you feel isolated and alone.
It’s time to make a change.
What Lies Beneath the Surface
It’s not just about the food, and it’s not just about how you look.
Underneath the issues with eating and body image, there are deeper reasons why you developed an eating disorder in the first place.
A life that feels out of your control…
High achievement that never feels good enough…
Fear of failure… fear of success…
Crippling insecurity…
Trauma…
Loss of self.
You have an eating disorder for good reason. So, recovery from the eating disorder needs to go deeper…
Deep Recovery: Self-Discovery, Self-Acceptance, Self-Love
It’s a journey, and we’ll help you get there.
In our work together, we’ll start with practical tools to stabilize your eating patterns based on your specific struggles.
Then we’ll dig deeper to look at the underlying issues—the reasons you’ve needed your disordered eating for so long.
We’ll explore other ways of coping and relating to others… as well as your growing sense of self-worth.
All throughout the process, we’ll be developing your practices of self-care, self-acceptance, and self-love.
Rediscovering Your Authentic Self
We’ll help you recognize and strengthen your true, authentic voice out of the murky waters of disordered eating and negative body image.
It’s exciting to start to explore who you are without the mask of the eating disorder.
What does the “authentic you” value? To whom are you drawn? What do you like to do on a nice LA weekend?
Don’t Go through This Alone
I struggled with an eating disorder and body image concerns for the better part of a decade, and I can tell you…
True freedom is possible!
When you recover, you’ll not only heal your body and your eating habits…
You’ll heal your SELF.
It’s worth it. YOU are worth it.
