Ellen S Leventhal
Marriage and Family Therapist, MEd, MA, LMFT
Eating disorders don’t discriminate; it doesn’t matter if you’re a girl or boy, young or old, black or white. Instead of hating our bodies we should learn to celebrate every body.
Anorexia nervosa is characterized by weight loss, an intense fear of weight gain, food restriction, inappropriate eating habits, and obsessing over a thin figure. People suffering have the inability to see what their body truly looks like because they have a distorted body image. As the person becomes more emaciated, their image of themselves becomes more distorted.
Bulimia nervosa is episodes of binging and purging. A person will binge by consuming a large amount of calories in a restricted period of time almost always carried out in secret. The person is also afraid of weight gain, so they undo the binge by purging. Most common is self-induced vomiting, meanwhile others are overdosing on laxatives and excessive exercise.
Binge eating is an eating disorder in which a person consumes an abnormally large amount of food in a short period of time. During the binge, the person also feels a loss of control and is not able to stop eating. In this instance, they don’t undo the binge by purging. Afterwards, they typically feel disgusted, depressed, and guilty.
Pica is persistently eating nonfood items, such as soap, cloth, talcum powder or dirt, over a period of at least a month. Eating these nonfood items can result in medical complications such as poisoning, intestinal problems or infections.
Rumination disorder is repeatedly and persistently regurgitating food after eating, but it’s not due to a medical condition or another eating disorder such as anorexia, bulimia, or binge-eating disorder. Food is brought back up into the mouth without nausea or gagging. Sometimes regurgitated food is rechewed and reswallowed or spit out.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
Depending on where you are in your recovery process, Somatic Experiencing can be a great supplement to ED recovery. If you've moved through the worst of it, you have a care team, you're eating well, and you're feeling stable- but you still have a hard time feeling at home in your body; you're still uncomfortable with feeling hunger/fullness signals or sometimes feeling ANYthing from your body, then Somatic Experiencing can be a great help.
Incrementally, step by step, we can start establishing a safe 'line of communication' between you and your body, so instead of feeling like a floating head, you can start feeling more of an integrated mind-body system.

Monique Bellefleur
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, PMH-C
I have worked in the eating disorder field for over 10 years. I believe full recovery from an eating disorder is possible and that your relationship with food can have less influence on how you judge yourself.

MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder, are complex mental health conditions characterized by unhealthy relationships with food, body image, and weight. Traditional treatments often involve psychotherapy, nutritional counseling, and medical management. However, hypnotherapy has emerged as a complementary therapeutic approach that may help individuals address the underlying psychological factors contributing to disordered eating.
