I am taking new clients after April 15, 2024. I work with anorexia, bulimia, and other eating problems. Many eating problems were initiated by dieting and became an illness when the body's evolutionary defenses against starvation fought back leading to anorexia, bulimia, or binge eating disorder. Our fat-phobic culture preaches limitless perfectibility and a duplicitous diet industry claims that permanent loss is possible and healthy.
ED's are maintained their seeming ability to help manage anxiety and by fears of trusting our bodies' signals. Perhaps this is because dieters have experienced their will being overturned by their bodies' nonconscious survival mechanisms . This is not a bad thing. Current weight standards call for most of us women to go through life 20 pounds underweight.
Imagine if our body didn't try to prevent us from maintaining our body below our healthy weight. I am dedicated to helping you figure out how to live with and cherish the precious body you were given. I believe that everyone can recover from their eating disorders and disordered eating.
