As a seasoned relational psychotherapist with extensive experience in eating and body image struggles, I have been at the forefront of integrating these issues into therapeutic practice for decades. My work emphasizes the deep connection between self-worth, relationships, and body perception. Through my writing, I aim to illuminate the complexities of these struggles and provide insights for healing. By fostering understanding and empathy, I guide clients towards a healthier relationship with themselves and their bodies.
I have always sought to understand the individual in relation to the social, political and economic world. When, long ago, we coined the phrase “the personal is political,” it did not refer to political parties. Rather, it refers to external reality; we live in a world where we are currently faced with a sense of loneliness and powerlessness.
When we look at the climate, the endless war, racism, patriarchy and where the inequality of wealth between the haves and have-nots leads to angry and violent splits in our population. Monied interests threaten us all in myriad ways. But each of us suffers in our specific and deep personal and somatic ways.
