Therapy Issues

Eating Disorders

Right now, as a result of your eating disorder, you may be experiencing…

  • Preoccupation with your food consumption and how it’s impacting your weight.
  • Low self-esteem, thinking poorly of yourself each time you eat or see yourself in the mirror.
  • Anxiety, depression, and a low mood.
  • A sense of isolation, like you can’t talk to anyone about what’s going on.

You’re realizing that your eating disorder is getting in the way of your life…

  • You’re noticing the physical side effects of your eating disorder and it concerns you.
  • Family and friends are getting worried, noticing your behaviors while eating and after eating, and starting to suspect something’s up.
  • Keeping up the secret is exhausting.
  • You can’t be as present, close, and connected in your relationships anymore; it feels like the eating disorder comes first.
  • You hate that you’re doing this but you feel like you can’t stop.

You’re wondering…

  • Will talk therapy support me in recovering from this eating disorder? 
  • Will I need to go to a treatment program or the hospital?
  • Will I have to stop cold turkey? What if I relapse?

You’re longing for…

  • Someone safe and trusted to talk to about this thing you’re embarrassed about.
  • To feel like you have a sense of choice and agency again.
  • A break, a break from the relentless food and body preoccupation.
  • A plan to break the cycle that actually addresses what’s going on underneath the eating disorder.
  • The experience of enjoying your life again.

What you’re longing for is possible.

At Evergreen Counseling, we have a staff of seasoned, evidence-based therapists skilled in treating eating disorders.
