Healing from Bulimia, Eating Disorders and Food Restricting and a Lifetime of Dieting (No quick fixes in 2024!)
By the time they get to me, many of my California clients have decades of dieting and food restricting behind them. I did, too. I began dieting and restricting food in elementary school, and that behavior persisted for decades before I found a qualified eating disorder therapist to help me recover completely. I get it. It feels impossible. When I was in the thick of my eating disorder, if someone would have told me that I would someday think about food, eating, and body image less than 10% of the time, I would have thought they were insane. But it was true. It happened. It’s happen for hundreds of my clients. It can happen for you, too. Read on to hear how you can take the first step in 2024.
