🌿 Body Image and Eating Disorders Awareness Week (BIEDAW) 1-7 September 2025 🌿

This year, invites us to look deeper into eating disorders and focus on the theme "Unpacking the Why: What Causes Eating Disorders."

Eating disorders aren’t always about body image. For some folk with ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder), food restriction comes from sensory sensitivities, fear of choking, or low interest in food and often linked with neurodivergence (ADHD, Autism).

This overlap highlights the need for neurodiversity-affirming care that adapts to each person’s unique needs. By unpacking the why, we can create more inclusive, compassionate, and effective support.

Explore the causes of eating disorders, with a focus on ARFID and neurodivergence. Brisbane and Sunshine Coast Eating Disorder Care.

🌱 Understanding Your Core Emotional Needs with Schema Therapy

Did you know that unmet emotional needs from childhood can continue to impact your wellbeing in adulthood? In schema therapy, these “emotional buttons” can trigger patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that don’t serve you.

Learning to meet your core emotional needs like connection, autonomy, self-expression, play, and realistic limits can help you build emotional resilience, reduce reliance on unhelpful coping strategies, and strengthen your healthy adult self.

💡 Discover how schema therapy can help you recognise your needs and respond to them in healthy ways.

📖 Read the full blog written by our therapist, Christophe, here: https://withgracetherapy.com.au/schema-therapy-core-emotional-needs/

Learn about the five core emotional needs in schema therapy and how unmet needs from childhood can affect adult wellbeing.

Some days call for softness.
Some moments ask for slowness.
You are allowed to treat yourself with the same care you’d offer a friend.
