Individual Therapy
Whether you struggle with eating or body image, it can affect your day to day life, making life miserable. Sometimes this shows up as having a lot of rigid rules and beliefs about food, exercise, or the way your body looks or how “it should look.” It can affect different areas of your life, including how you view yourself or how you navigate the world. When we live so many rules and beliefs, it can create a vicious cycle where you are judging yourself and beating yourself up when you don’t follow certain rules.
I get it. We live in a world where we are told to not trust ourselves and our own experience and to rather rely on other systems to tell us what to eat, when to eat, etc. We also live in a world where we are told to change our bodies and some bodies are idealized and others aren’t. Even past experiences and trauma’s can affect our relationship with food and our bodies.
For some, your relationship with food might feel troubled because it is more sensory related, you might not have much interest in food or have fear of what can happen after you eat.
And for others, you might find yourself eating past fullness or not having fullness cues. You might struggle with feelings of guilt after eating. Or you may feel you can’t keep certain foods in your home.
If you are struggling with an eating disorder or disordered eating behaviors, recovery is possible.
HAES Aligned Sessions
HAES stands for: Health At Every Size, which is framework that focuses on weight inclusivity, focuses on intuitive eating rather than weight focused diets, provides compassionate & respectful care, addresses anti-fat bias and systemic anti-fat bias and recognizes healthcare is a human right for people of all sizes.
This also means Luna Therapy focuses on helping people disconnect from disordered eating patterns and behaviors, rather than promoting weight loss or dieting.
Therapy can…
Help explore how disordered eating thoughts or behaviors have impacted your life.
Help you discover what an improved relationship with food is like for you. This looks different for everyone. For some it might mean experiencing less food noise or enjoying movement without it feeling rigid.
Rebuild your trust with your body, freeing your mind from unhelpful beliefs.
It can be freeing. We may not always realize how much something, like disordered eating thoughts/behaviors can take up space in our minds and affect our day to day life.
By finding this freedom, you’d be able to experience other parts of life with more ease.
