Eating Disorders
Find Your CounselorAbout
Eating disorders are part of a category of psychological conditions that involve an intense preoccupation with food and body image. It’s often said that an eating disorder is like a bad boyfriend: relentlessly critical and demanding. Eating disorder counseling can help you break up with “ED” – it’s difficult but ultimately liberating!
Body dissatisfaction, low self-esteem, an obsession with physical perfection, and a need to exert control over chaotic situations can compel an individual to develop abnormal eating habits. However, so can a complex range of other factors: high levels of cortisol and serotonin can keep the brain buzzing with stress, which can promote the development of an eating disorder; a family history of eating disorders enhances your likelihood of acquiring an eating disorder of your own—as does environmental exposure to childhood trauma (e.g. sexual abuse).
Whether your abnormal eating habits include self-starvation or eating past the point of sickness, eating disorders wreak severe emotional and physical damage upon our bodies. Counseling can help you identify the root causes of your eating disorder and partner with you to develop coping skills to become a healthier, more resilient version of yourself.
