[quote=Jrollin]Thank you for your comment. I agree in that there is an unfair stigma often surrounding eating disorders. I explain to my clients that eating disorder behaviors (i.e. purging, bingeing, restricting) are ways that they are trying to get their needs met (i.e. to feel a sense of "control," manage anxiety, cope with past trauma etc). This helps to take away some of the feelings of shame, as there is a function behind these behaviors. I then help people to look at more life-affirming ways to get their needs met. I'm passionate about raising awareness and helping people to feel less ashamed, as we would never judge someone for having a physical health condition. So, we should not judge those who struggle with mental health challenges.[/quote]
