When you feel like you need to control what you eat and feel guilty if you don't follow certain rules about food, you might be getting caught in the vicious cycle of an eating disorder. An eating disorder is a complex relationship with food that affects people of all ages and genders. There are different types of eating disorders but symptoms typically range from a mild preoccupation with food and body image to a deep fear of gaining weight, body dysmorphia, excessive exercising, purging, and binging.
Eating disorders are insidious conditions that creep up over time. Often it starts as a desire to lose a few pounds, tone up, and be healthier. However, it can take over your whole life and make you feel helpless and trapped in an endless cycle of preoccupation about what you eat and how you look.
Additionally, negative body image has been shown to be linked to dieting and eating disorders. Over time, your body image concerns can lead to attempts to control how you look. You might be trying different diets, exercising more, or trying to eat healthier. This could mean cutting out food groups, fasting, and/or excessive exercising to control your shape and weight. These are painful cycles that can leave your feeling frustrated with yourself and at a loss as to how to break free from the endless preoccupation of food and weight.
If you are wondering if you have an eating disorder or have a loved one who is struggling, do not hesitate to reach out. I have helped many people restore their relationship with food and live a more balanced life. Please contact me if you would like to learn more.

Lorna Barnes, Oak Tree Counselling
Licensed Professional Counsellor, CT, CPC
Eating disorders can develop when a child lacks validation, nurture and support and when they've experienced bullying, neglect or abuse. Counselling will look to validate and build self-worth, to encourage clients to find an accountability partner, to get medical care, and possibly a treatment program specializing in eating disorders.

If you or a loved one is struggling with disordered eating, I am here to provide a safe and supportive space for healing and recovery.
Eating disorders are complex conditions that affect both the body and mind. They can lead to severe physical and emotional consequences, impacting every aspect of a person's life. With my expertise and deep understanding of eating disorders, I offer personalized treatment plans tailored to your unique needs.
Using evidence-based approaches, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), I work collaboratively with you to address the underlying factors contributing to your eating disorder. Together, we'll explore the complex relationship between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors around food, body image, and self-esteem.
My goal is to support you in developing a healthier relationship with food, your body, and yourself. I provide a judgment-free and empathetic space where we can address the underlying issues, challenge distorted beliefs, and develop practical skills to manage triggers and navigate recovery.
Recovering from an eating disorder is a journey, and I am committed to walking alongside you every step of the way. Together, we'll work towards lasting change, self-acceptance, and a renewed sense of well-being.
If you're ready to embark on the path to recovery and reclaim your life from the grips of an eating disorder, please reach out to schedule a consultation. I am here to support and guide you towards a healthier and happier future.
