Obesity
Ekta Abhay Lather
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Obesity is a complex health condition characterized by excessive body fat that can negatively impact overall well-being. It is often measured using the Body Mass Index (BMI), which considers weight in relation to height. Obesity can lead to various health issues, including diabetes, heart disease, and joint problems, and is influenced by a combination of genetic, environmental, and behavioral factors. Addressing obesity involves a multifaceted approach that includes healthy eating, regular physical activity, and behavioral changes. It's important to promote understanding and compassion, as individuals facing obesity may encounter stigma and misinformation. Supportive environments and resources can empower individuals to make positive lifestyle changes and improve their health.

Mia Klassen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MPCC #3875, CT #2438, LSCC
Weight isn't just about food—it's about pain, protection, trauma, and survival. Once we've built trust and safety, we'll gently explore what lies beneath: the emotional reasons your body holds onto weight, the ways food became comfort or control, the trauma that taught you to make yourself bigger or smaller. This isn't about dieting or shame. Our focus is your physical health and overall wellbeing, not achieving some ideal number. You'll learn to regulate emotions without using food, understand your body's signals, and address the root causes rather than just symptoms. Healing your relationship with your body means healing what's underneath.
