Eating Disorders
Complicated relationships with food are a product of systemic white supremacy and colonization. There are countless examples of how the “ideal body type” is pushed onto us in the media and in our healthcare system. This societal messaging leads to painful relationships with ourselves and food. Guilt and shame can dominate our psyches and prevent us from living a life connected to our true selves. I am interested in walking this path with you as we explore the ways in which controlling food intake and engaging in bingeing and/or purging rituals have developed as coping skills. I want to work with you towards dismantling these systems and developing a more loving relationship with food and self.
