You look in the mirror and feel disgusted. Multiple outfits are scattered on the floor, nothing fits right. You have gained weight again and it's hardly a surprise since the bingeing returned. The feeling of confidence at the beginning of your latest diet is replaced by the heaviness of another failure. You still believe that losing the weight once and for all will give you what you truly want – being liked and accepted. But years of dieting haven't actually changed your life for the better. As your desperation grows you start to wonder if a life without the self-hatred, food obsession and feeling out of control is possible for you.

Are you struggling to let go of habits, relationships, jobs, beliefs, or hobbies that no longer serve you? Are you grieving the loss of an important person, career, or relationship? Are you caught up in a pattern or reaching for people, food, substances, or social media to change the way you feel? At the end of the day, chronically reaching for things to change feelings is nothing more than an attempt to self-regulate; which evolves into an obsession and then a compulsion. If you’re unsure what self-regulation means, how to do it, or just want some more skills to add to your tool box I’m here to help.
