Counseling for Eating Disorders in Idaho
You’ve done every new diet, food fad, and exercise routine. Yet, you look in the mirror and are instantly filled with shame. Looking at photographs from the special moments of your life with those you love doesn’t fill you with joy but a rush of thoughts about how your body should look. Your life has been bogged down by the internalized bully that has taken residence in your mind, telling you how, if you just lost a few more pounds, just a few more inches, you would finally be able to live the life you’ve dreamed.
People have told you how loved you are, that you are treasured and important to them, and still, the bully continues to whisper how that must not be true because you “look how you look.” That you can’t wear that outfit or take that trip or go on that date until you achieve the perceived perfect body.
Whatever your relationship with food, movement, or your body is, you can begin to quiet the bully who has been telling you that you are anything less than worthy. Through tools such as intuitive eating, trauma-informed therapy, and DBT interventions, we can work together to find ways to create joyful connections with your body in all of its parts and be able to truly flourish! Isn’t it time to exist in the space of your body with love and compassion?
