Eating Disorder Resources

Eating Disorders are extremely complex. There are countless reasons for developing an eating disorder, but one way ED behaviors can start out is as a coping mechanism for some other thing going on in life, such as negative body image, a need for control, trauma, etc. Treatment involves learning how to deal with life’s struggles without turning to eating disorder thoughts and behaviors for comfort; processing and altering core beliefs about self; as well as addressing body image and learning to find acceptance and compassion for yourself, even when you think it is impossible.
