Emma Heutschi
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Ed. Counselling Psychology, Registered Psychotherapist
As someone who has suffered and successfully recovered from an eating disorder, I get it. I also know how complex, isolating, and serious these illnesses and their treatment can be. Reaching out for help is the hardest part, so be proud of yourself for making this first step and believing that it can get better. As your therapist, I will be sensitive and non-judgemental as we understand your thoughts and behaviours related to food, eating, weight, and shape so we can address behaviours first and create immediate positive change. Then, we will explore deeper feelings, beliefs, life-experiences, traumas, and relationships (to yourself and others) so that we can uncover what is happening at a core level in order to heal from disordered eating.

Eating disorders unveils a poignant narrative of disordered eating as a coping mechanism rooted in early relational patterns and past traumas. Shaped by experiences of attachment insecurity and emotional neglect, individuals may turn to food or restrictive behaviours to numb the pain or regain a sense of control. Like a silent scream, the cycle of disordered eating echoes the unmet emotional needs and the scars of past hurts, manifesting as a distorted relationship with food and body image. Therapy offers a sanctuary for exploration, providing a safe space to unpack the complexities of attachment dynamics and process the underlying trauma. By nurturing compassionate connections and addressing the root causes of distress, individuals can begin to untangle the knots of their eating disorder, reclaiming agency over their bodies and rediscovering a sense of self-worth and nourishment beyond the plate.
