Disordered consumption/elimination behaviour ranges from starvation, bingeing, purging and eating restriction to newer disorders like diabulimia and orthorexia. Sometimes numbing, existential ambivalence, shame or dread of weight gain accompany an eating disorder. Modern Western culture perpetuates vanity which when combined with perfectionist and overly rigid to abusive early life experience may worsen a variety of eating/elimination imbalances. Clients can often be helped with a comprehensive approaches like DBT (including radical acceptance practice), CBT(cognitive reframing and experiments in balanced self-care ), EFT, hypnosis, and spiritual (eg. 12-step, mindfulness) practices.

Emotional eating can stem from social expectations, family of origin rituals and gatherings, and negative self-talk. Emotional eating can lead to weight gain and health concerns. I use CBT, DBT and ACT to help clients learn to recognize emotional triggers that lead to eating behaviors when not physically hungry. I also help clients develop techniques to mindfully eat, resist temptation and learn to recognize when emotions are pulling at your puppet strings.

Eating disorder can overshadow your life, stealing the joy and self-respect. I have worked with many who struggled with eating disorders and disordered eating and yes, it is possible to fight it and move beyond it. In the therapy with me you become aware of your strengths, your limitations and areas that need strengthening. You discover you are not alone and let the guilt and shame sweep away and become stronger. You learn how to create healthier boundaries, recognize triggers and become emotionally and mentally stronger.
