Eating Disorder Therapy

​​Do you ever wonder how to stop binge eating, especially at night? Do you keep turning to food to deal your emotions? Do you yo-yo diet and constantly think of food?

​

If you feel out of control around food - like you're doing "good" all day and then something shifts  -  or you find yourself stuck in a cycle of overeating, guilt and trying to make up for it, you are not alone. You might feel frustrated, shameful or confused about why you keep doing this, especially when a part of you feels like you should fix it. Whether it's emotional eating, binge eating or bulimia, these patterns often reflect something deeper in your emotions and body that is going on.  

 

With the right kind of support, it's possible to feel more in control, more at peace with food and  more at home in your body.

​

In our work together, we slow things down and look at the patterns you are caught in with food and what is beneath them. For many people caught in cycles of emotional eating or binge eating, this often reflects their difficult emotions, stress, unmet needs, old or forgotten wounds and ways they've learned to cope, often alone. 

​

Your eating disorders or disordered eating helped you manage what you did not know how to. The beautiful thing is now something new is emerging, something new wants to explore recovery. 

​

Together, we'll work on practical tools and also explore the deeper emotional patterns surrounding binge eating, emotional eating and bulimia that keep the cycle going. This includes building helpful eating habits, understanding and managing triggers, repairing your relationship with yourself and your body, and healing the old or forgotten wounds.

​

Over time many people notice the intensity of the disordered eating or eating disorder urges begins to soften. Food takes up less mental space. The cycle of "all-or-nothing starts to loosen. And instead of feeling at odds with yourself, you begin to experience more steadiness, choice and compassion.
