Steve Rose, PhD

Addiction Counsellor

Available for Online Therapy

I help clients overcome addictive relationships with food. Like all addictions, the behavior is the tip of the iceberg, used to cope with underlying thoughts and emotions. Through collaborative conversations, clients gain insight into underlying concerns, gaining coping skills to more effectively navigate these issues. I draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI), helping clients achieve a sense of freedom and control over their lives, leading to long-term change.

A sense of self is easily interrupted by stress, change, and trauma. Maybe you feel like you have never really known yourself and have always been focused on others. Or, maybe, you feel like you have lost a sense of self due to big changes in your life. This could all be tied in with how you feel about your body, especially if it has gone through a change as well. We can offer support for this, including help for: • Body image concerns • Low self-esteem or self-worth • Questioning self-purpose and plan • People pleasing, rescuing and fixing • Chronic guilt, regret and shame

Those suffering from eating disorders are not just dealing with how to most effectively manage their relationships to food. Rather, disorder eating is often a way individuals attempt to cope with difficult problems, interpersonal distress or regain a sense of control in their lives and inner experience. These illnesses impact a person’s sense of identity, worth, self-esteem and interpersonal relationships. There is help and hope, you too can recover and live a fulfilled life. Shauna can help you find new coping methods and transform patterns through CBT, DBT and interpersonal therapy.

Frequently there are methodologies and modalities that come and go on how to control eating disorders. Listening is where it starts and ends with eating disorders. Why do I? Finding out about yourself is a primary concern with eating disorders. Are you allowed to be you or are you unacceptable by others or even unacceptable by yourself? I need to understand who I AM

In M9A 1B6 - Nearby to Madoc.

If you are struggling with an eating disorder we want to focus on what has brought you to your current eating and nutritional patterns and behaviours. I want to initially focus less about the foods you eat and the current behaviours surrounding your food intake, and more about what you are wanting to accomplish in doing so. Do you feel a need to control your environment? Do you feel anxious or out of control in other areas of your life? Are you wanting to push away or ignore some other important concerns? Let's explore. My primary focus is to help you feel good about yourself and your environment, and empower you to continue to create the changes within yourself that you want to make.

Eating disorders are a complex mental health problem with many contributing factors. My approach focuses on understanding the context of the eating disorder development with each individual client, learning about triggers for related behaviours, and exploring and healing underlying issues. Clients will learn to cope without the eating disorder and will be able to minimize or eliminate unhealthy behaviours. In addition, clients will rediscover who they are away from the eating problem. Many clients have described feeling free or like they have "been lifted out of the fog" as they recover and are able to enjoy their life without the eating disorder thoughts and behaviours interfering.

Registered Psychotherapist

Eating disorders benefit from the same or similar approach used for all addictive behaviours. One of the main therapeutic approaches I use is Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy. The relationship to food can be quite complex involving societal or cultural pressures, self-image, past traumas, addictive non-nutritious junk food, media images, social media pressures, bullying. Shame and guilt need to be addressed along with peer pressures. The most common eating disorders are: Anorexia, Bulimia, Binge Eating, Pica, Rumination Disorder, Avoidance/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), Orthorexia, Purging Disorder etc. The benefits of therapy are enhanced self-image, health and well-being.

“There are various ways that individuals with eating disorders describe “dealing with” painful feelings: They may numb them through starving, soothe or push them down with bingeing, or get rid of them through purging. This vicious cycle of fearing, avoiding, and feeling overwhelmed and incapacitated by feelings, to the point of having to stay ill or inflict self-harm to escape, makes Emotion-Focused Therapy a compelling approach to treating eating disorders. Emotion-Focused Therapy works directly with painful emotions, and views them as a source of information and meaning. Emotion, if paid attention to, can be like a beacon or a flashlight, leading us to what is important.

Eating Disorders can be some of the most disheartening and frustrating mental health diagnoses to experience. ED's at their core aren't about food, but instead avoidance, anxiety, control, and trauma. Successful treatment relies on examining what you are trying to avoid and providing skills that allow for tolerance and emotional regulation. Recovery from your eating disorder IS possible!

Eating disorders are connected to the value that society puts on appearance. In North American and European cultures, the ideal is to be thin. Being overweight is obvious to the world and viewed by society as a shameful condition. This is a demoralizing position to be in. Eating disorders are predominantly an issue for women, who naturally go through changes in their weight. But this is also an issue for men, who can hurt just as deeply if they feel unworthy of love by virtue of their appearance. My approach is to help people feel good from the inside out. I recognize that weight issues can be the source of shame, bullying and marginalization. These are often the areas we work on in therapy.

Dealing with an eating disorder is difficult, made all the more difficult if the people you love do not know how to support you through this time. Working with someone trained in treating eating disorders, you will feel understood in a way that you might not have thought possible. There is no reason why you should be going through this alone. Reach out to get the support that you need.

In my experience, self acceptance and self esteem lie at the core of almost every eating condition, even when anxiety feels like the primary motivation for your behavior. Having said that, I never make assumptions about why you do what you do and what is motivating the relationship you have with food. I work hard in our relationship to understand what it feels like to be you so that we can both learn what it will take to change your eating habits for the better and encourage natural and healthy associations with both food and your body.

What are " permission thoughts"? The same has ANTS (automatic negative thoughts ) or over thinking. All contribute to stress eating and using our emotional reward system in our brain. Emotional eating or fasting is the new smoking. Any one can reduce their weight but sustaining to be fit is a conscious effort on a daily basis. Creating an acceptable identity for self and others is the starting point for a well developed self esteem. One eats to LIVE not Live to EAT.

Eating disorders are in incredibly important to understand and heal. The thought processes and behaviour patterns involved in this experience are incredibly complex and layered. It takes a very intentional therapeutic witness to dive deep and understand where this is stemming from, what beliefs are perpetuating it, and what behaviours can be adjusted to see significantly healthy changes! I believe in you, if you're seeking this support, the hardest part is already over. What you're experiencing is more common than you think, you're brave for naming it as a concern and choosing to heal it!

Clients who seek eating disorder counseling and treatment can benefit in a variety of ways. Firstly, counseling can help clients to understand the underlying causes of their eating disorder, such as past trauma or negative self-talk. By addressing these underlying issues, clients can begin to develop healthier coping mechanisms and strategies for managing their symptoms. In addition, counseling can help clients to develop a healthier relationship with food and their body image. Clients can learn to identify and challenge negative thoughts and beliefs that may be contributing to their eating disorder, and they can develop more positive and self-affirming self-talk.

Eating disorders appear to result from multiple factors including cultural, social, family and emotional pressures; personality disorders; genetics and biological factors. Some research has shown a connection between child sexual abuse and subsequent development of eating disorders. Eating disorders typically begin during adolescence. Moreover, up to 90 per cent of eating disorders occur in women, though men are being diagnosed more. Helping have a healthy relationship with oneself, gaining tools for coping, healing past issues is some of the therapy focussed on.

Work in therapy focuses on self-esteem, body image, eating patterns and how to move towards healthy eating, "what is healthy eating", obsessional thoughts about food, weight, shape and body image, media and peer pressure, also on perfectionism, issues with control, mental health issues, interpersonal problems; and, when the client wishes, on family problems and childhood issues such as trauma and abuse. We build a relationship where it is safe to explore issues that you choose to bring. You decide what is discussed. This is a place where there is no pressure to be a certain way. You are free to explore your ideas about what you would like to change, and I work to understand and hear.

Eating disorders are a symptom of distress and a subsequent need to manage that distress. Understanding the source of the distress can greatly help to alleviate the symptoms enough to learn new ways of coping that are not as compromising of the body, but rather move the individual toward a more balanced regard for self and a healthier lifestyle. Depending on the severity of the disorder it may well require co-operation and participation of other family members as well. This kind of support can often bring faster more permanent positive changes.
