Are your food and weight issues consuming your life?

Do you intend to seek treatment for an eating disorder, if yes?

Do you have the impression that nothing is changing in your life and that everything is crumbling around you?

Has this lack of control led you to base your entire existence on food, exercise, mirrors, calorie tracking, or the weight on the scale?

Perhaps you believe that something went wrong. As a result, you are unworthy of the affection and care of others. Do you also worry that you are a burden to other people? Do you worry that, in spite of your flaws, people will never embrace you?

Are you saying to yourself, "I wish I could lose weight so I could trust people and form the close friendships I've always imagined"?

Do you ever imagine what life would be like if you were free from self-loathing and guilt?

Many people feel dissatisfied with their bodies.

Focusing excessively on diet and weight is more common than you might think, especially in Colorado, where fitness standards are set high. Both men and women struggle with body-image issues and eating disorders.

As you are aware, our society constantly bombards us with messages about the ideal appearance of our bodies. These societal messages may come from family, friends, or the media. Overall, they can contribute to the development of eating disorders.

Often, an eating disorder is a symptom of something else that is happening within the individual. Perhaps you have recently gone through a loss, a major life transition, or an emotionally intense experience. Leaving you unable to express your feelings.

Will I get some kind of treatment plan?

You will receive support, education, and practical strategies in addition to my body-centered approach. During a session, you will begin to develop a new relationship with your thoughts, emotions, and body. Significantly, the therapeutic relationship itself can facilitate this process. Most of our core issues and struggles arise in relationships. Therefore, a secure, supportive relationship built into therapy will help you develop a healthy relationship with yourself and with others.

You may believe that eating disorder treatment can help you, but you still have concerns or questions.

I'm not sure I have a "full-blown" eating disorder. Maybe I don’t need eating disorder treatment.

You don't have to be sick and dying to "deserve" help! Even if you feel your eating disorder is not severe, it is probably preventing you from having a satisfying life. In essence, it may be used to numb out or cope with stress. This can keep you from reaching out to others.

As a result of feeling numb, you could be missing out on the wonderful range of emotions life has to offer, including joy. It is possible to find non-harmful ways to relate to your mind and body, no matter how big or small your issues are.

I can manage this on my own without having to spend money on therapy.

No one wants to spend money if they do not have to. You may have already tried many things to help you stop disordered behaviors. By now, you feel frustrated and fed up. Professional eating disorder treatment and support can give you a new outlook on your situation. This will result in a better understanding of what is happening underneath. Not only that, but investing in your emotional health may be the best decision you can make for your long-term wellbeing.

I'm worried that if I seek eating disorder treatment and stop thinking about my weight all the time, I'll gain weight.

This is a common worry. Surprisingly, once you start listening to your body, you can improve your overall nutrition and health. The good news is that many people are able to feel healthy and comfortable at their natural weight. As a result, this allows them more time and energy to move on to important things, such as pursuing pleasure and enjoyment in life.

Ultimately, when you learn to deeply listen to your body's intuition, you may be amazed at how energized and enthusiastic you feel.
