Eating Disorders
Rebecca Goldstein, TuneinTherapy, ADHD | Trauma | Autism
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW, MTA, BMT, FAMI
Disordered eating is often about far more than food. For many people, it can be deeply connected to ADHD, autism, trauma, sensory needs, emotional regulation, shame, control, or years of trying to cope in ways that made sense at the time.
My approach is compassionate, affirming, and focused on understanding what may be beneath the surface — not just the behaviors themselves. Together, we explore patterns around food, self-worth, nervous system needs, and coping while working to reduce shame, strengthen self-understanding, and build more supportive, sustainable ways forward.

Eating Disorders

Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Eating disorders are complex mental health conditions that involve abnormal and disturbed eating behaviors. Common types of eating disorders include Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, and Binge Eating Disorder. These disorders can cause serious physical and psychological consequences, including malnutrition, organ damage, and an increased risk of depression and anxiety. Eating disorders often stem from a combination of biological, psychological, and environmental factors and can be influenced by cultural and societal pressures.
Treatment for eating disorders usually involves a combination of psychotherapy and medical intervention. Psychotherapy can help individuals understand and manage the underlying emotions and thoughts that contribute to their eating disorder and support them in developing healthy coping mechanisms. It is important to seek help from a licensed mental health professional if you or a loved one is struggling with an eating disorder, as early intervention is crucial for a successful recovery.

Laird Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
It’s easy to slip into a painful and confusing relationship with food, especially when eating starts to feel less like a choice and more like a way to cope. If you find yourself turning to food when you’re stressed, overwhelmed, lonely, or emotionally drained—and then feeling out of control around eating—you’re not alone. Binge eating and emotional eating can leave you feeling disconnected from your body, frustrated with yourself, and unsure why willpower never seems to be enough.
Binge eating often involves eating large amounts of food in a short period of time, accompanied by a strong sense of loss of control. You might feel unable to stop, even when you’re uncomfortably full, followed by guilt, shame, or self-criticism afterward. Emotional eating may look like using food to soothe difficult feelings or numb emotional discomfort, even when you’re not physically hungry. Many people experience both, often moving between periods of trying to “get back on track” and moments when eating feels chaotic or unmanageable.
These patterns usually develop over time. What may begin as dieting, food restriction, or an attempt to eat “better” can quietly increase cravings and preoccupation with food. The more rigid the rules become, the more likely it is that they eventually break—leading to episodes of overeating or binging, followed by renewed attempts to regain control. This cycle can feel exhausting and demoralizing, reinforcing the belief that something is “wrong” with you, when in reality your body and nervous system are responding to deprivation, stress, and emotional overwhelm.
Binge eating and emotional eating are not about lack of discipline or failure. They are often linked to chronic stress, negative body image, unmet emotional needs, and a history of restriction or dieting. Over time, the constant mental focus on food, weight, and eating can crowd out enjoyment, self-trust, and a sense of ease in daily life.
At Laird Counselling Services, we have experience supporting individuals who feel stuck in cycles of binge eating and emotional eating. Therapy can help you understand what’s driving these patterns, rebuild trust with your body, and develop more compassionate and sustainable ways to cope with emotions and stress—without food feeling like the only option.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, ashamed, or unsure how to break free from this cycle, support is available. You don’t have to navigate this alone. We invite you to reach out to learn more about how counselling can help you move toward a calmer, more balanced relationship with food.
