We do not deal with formal diagnoses of eating disorders, but we do support those with disordered eating. Eating issues often occur alongside depression and anxiety, and we view them as a symptom of deep and painful emotions frequently linked to trauma, stress, or grief/loss. In our work together, we can address how you use food as a coping mechanism when you are stressed or when your relationships are strained. The goal is to understand better the role food plays in helping you cope with painful emotions.

Eating disorders are one of the most challenging areas of counselling because food is essential to life. Unlike other substance abuse concerns, you can't quit eating, even if you would like to or feel compelled to. Eating disorders often have their origins in emotional and cognitive disorders that begin early in life and relate to our perceptions of our appearance or the role of food in our family life and how we have been taught to feel about food and our own dietary habits. By understanding our relationship to food and our feelings regarding our bodies and appearance, we can work to moderate our thoughts and emotions regarding food and its role in our lives.

I work with your negative body image, from the inside out. "The negative image is understood as a dissociated and shame-based “part” of the personality in need of understanding and compassion, achieved via mindful awareness, “parts” dialogue and trauma processing. Our first step will be to create a healthy separation between the "observing" or aware Self and the part(s) absorbed in the eating disorder via mindful awareness. Once this separation between the "whole" self and part of self is established, the Gestalt polarity tradition (empty chairs) is utilized to develop understanding of the shame-based part. This leads to developing more love and compassion for yourself. You are enough!
