Helping you connect with your values and recover.
Eating Disorder Recovery Online Throughout California
Everyday you notice how the pain and discomfort you are feeling in your body and mind is not sustainable. You can't stand how it feels to be in your body and most of your thoughts are focused on either changing it or tallying up all the reasons it’s "not good enough." You imagine constantly how if you reach (insert weight/size here) that people will care for you more, life will have more vibrancy, & you’ll finally be able to feel joy.
But no weight or clothing size has soothed your suffering. You keep saying that you have everything under control but the reality is you feel shackled by food rules, how the fixation on your body shape affects your mood for the rest of the day, & you try and hide aspects of yourself from loved ones for fear of judgement.

Finding an Eating Disorder Therapist in California
The road to being recovered can be difficult to say the least & your loved ones are noticing something feels off.
