Are You Struggling with an Eating Disorder, Emotional Eating or Disorder Eating? 

 

Would you like to think about something other than the number on the scale?  Would you like to make peace with food and your body?

 

Don't struggle through this alone.  Recovery from an eating disorder or disordered eating is possible regardless if it's just beginning or you've had a longer struggle with it.  And it's easier when you have qualified help. 

 

Eating disorders promise you a full and happy life if you become thin, but really eating disorders work to rob you of life and living.  Your life suffers a slow death as you disengage from people, the things you love and yourself.  

 

In place, the eating disorder gets you to focus on eating or restricting food, the number on the scale, and your body.  

 

Altering the way you eat most likely helped you in the beginning and in ways probably saved you. Eventually through,  the eating disorder has becomes the problem.  If it's left untreated, it can actually become life threatening.

 

Seeking counselling for disordered eating or eating disorders can help you take your life back from it.  Though it might not seems so, eating difficulties are more than your struggle with food, the number on the scale, or your negative body image.  Eating disorders and preoccupation with food or body image are an adaptive way of calming emotional pain that can come from personal and underlying difficulties. Things like past hurts or a current relationship struggle.  Disordered eating offers temporary comfort or empowerment rather than life skills, greater wholeness and healing.  Counselling can help you uncover and understand these issues and aid you in resolving them so that you no longer need to use food to cope. 

 

In working together, you will be able to identify the root issues of your eating disorder and challenge the eating disorder thoughts.  You will learn life skills, grow, heal, and repair your relationship with yourself, food and your body.

 

Through counselling, you can learn to eat when you are hungry and stop when you are full.  You can learn to give your body the right amount of food and exercise and still have time to live a full, meaningful, and enjoyable life

​

You are also not alone in your struggle.  Many people struggle with this issue. Many people have recovered and there is specialized help in this area.  I have assisted individuals to recover from disordered eating or eating disorders for over 20 years.

 

Take back the night of your soul.  And open the door to the morning rays.  So you can step into the full, blazing high-noon sun of your life.
