Navigating Higher Levels of Care for Eating Disorder Treatment: Pros and Cons
When living in places like Austin, Washington D.C., and San Diego, dealing with eating disorders like binge eating, ARFID, anorexia, and bulimia, the severity of the condition often dictates the type of treatment required. For many, standard outpatient care may not be sufficient, and a higher level of care becomes necessary. Higher levels of care, including partial hospitalization programs (PHP), intensive outpatient programs (IOP), and residential treatment, offer more structured and intensive treatment options. Each comes, however, with its own set of advantages and challenges. In this blog post, we’ll explore the pros and cons of these higher levels of care to help you make informed decisions about eating disorder treatment options in California, Texas, New York, and elsewhere.
Intuitive Eating vs. Mechanical Eating: Can They Co-Exist?
In the ever-evolving world of nutrition and wellness, two approaches to eating stand out for their contrasting philosophies: intuitive eating and mechanical eating. Intuitive eating promotes listening to your body’s natural hunger and fullness cues, focusing on self-trust and personal satisfaction. It rejects traditional dieting and rigid food rules, advocating for a flexible, individualized relationship with food. On the other hand, mechanical eating emphasizes structured, scheduled meals and snacks, often used in the early stages of eating disorder recovery to stabilize eating patterns and regulate metabolism. But can these two seemingly opposing approaches truly coexist?

Leaning Into Deep Self-Love to Level Up Your Recovery From Binge Eating, Bulimia, and ARFID.
As an eating disorder therapist and a binge eating and ARFID coach in San Diego, California, I've been thinking a lot about the role of love and how love can drive many things in our lives. We can feel love for others, so we hug them and tell them and show them how much we care. We can feel love for pets, and so we feed them and play and snuggle with them. We love our special interests (Star Wars for me!) so we spend time and money on them and talk about them a lot.
When "Picky Eating" Becomes ARFID: Understanding the Nuances
Do you struggle with food? You might not just be a picky eater.
This blog post is for you if you or someone you know has a complicated relationship with food. While we all have our preferences, there's a big difference between being picky and having Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID).
ARFID is more than just disliking certain foods. It can cause anxiety, fear, and a strong aversion to certain textures, smells, or even the appearance of food. This can lead to nutritional deficiencies, weight loss, and social isolation.
The good news is that ARFID is treatable. If you think you or someone you love might have ARFID, this post will help you understand the signs and symptoms, as well as the emotional impact it can have. We'll also explore helpful tips and resources to get you on the road to recovery. Don't be afraid to reach out for support – there is hope!
