Find An Eating Disorder Therapist in Chapel Hill, TN.

Dealing with an eating disorder can be some of the most confounding work a person will ever encounter. Clients who can feel supported and accepted can often begin to feel the freedom to let go of the illusion of control that is frequently the unconscious goal beneath the presenting problem (the eating disorder). Patience is required of both the therapist, the client, and the client's support system. Persons suffering from an eating disorder can regain the joy, liveliness, and freedom that the disorder is robbing them of through a process of compassionate counseling.

Food, what to eat, how much to eat, your weight, how you look in the mirror, how others see you, judge you, and treat you....these concepts and ideas consume your thinking. You can't seem to get away from these ideas. If you are actively inside of your eating disorder, you (or your loved one) may need to seek help through a higher level of care. The first step I would take would be to determine where you are in your eating disorder. Because eating disorders can become life-threatening, it's important that you are in the appropriate setting for recovery. I am well versed in intuitive eating, Food Addicts in Recovery, and self-acceptance. Together we will work to find a balance.

Eating Disorders can be a tough thing to break once one heads down that path. Having a support system is vital to overcoming it. Many times there is more happening than just the eating disorder, some other cause that led to it. We must also process and work through that otherwise a cycle may form of recovering and slipping back. Accountability is also very important and honesty if one is willing to work through this.
