Find An Eating Disorder Therapist in Pugwash, NS.

If you have an eating disorder, you may believe that by being in control of what you eat, you can control your life. By rediscovering who you truly are you can overcome an eating disorder. Psychotherapy for an eating disorder involves learning to recognize and deal with your emotions in healthy ways, rather than using food as a substitute. If you have tried to manage your eating disorder but you feel “stuck” you may be discouraged and feel helpless. The problem is not willpower. Willpower cannot help you manage stress, negative emotions, and recover. Psychotherapy can help you to distinguish Self-defeating habits and create new life-enhancing strategies and emotional wellness.

If you’ve struggled with disordered eating, you are all too familiar with compulsive behavior, obsessive thoughts and a disconnect from the body. You may also have a constant need for control while at the same time feeling a frightening and exhausting loss of all control. Please know that none of this is your choice, but rather is a state of stress and overwhelm while you do your best to feel better. I have nothing but compassion for the distress that comes with food-related challenges, and you have my commitment to help you care for the difficult underlying emotions involved. Together, we will create a safe space to move towards healing and a safe relationship with food and the body.

Since our society infatuates food, eating disorders are quite common. They are usually tied to a misunderstanding about love in some important relationship. It can be a parental relationship or romantic one. I will show you what love is, how it works, and how you can learn to have the kind of love in your life, you desire. If you are ready to let go of old perceptions, and ready to start respecting your highest values, then contact me right away.
