It’s not always easy to overcome barriers, the automatic thoughts we have can be part of the barrier….

Important conversation and wonderful to be part of such an essential topic that needs to be heard.

😞..being busy, filling space..to do lists that go on and on. Even when the list has been completed…the to do mentality can increase….down time is uncomfortable for many trauma survivors, we need to acknowledge this…

This is sadly so common. I was celebrated within my world of sport when the truth was that I was dying. We must change the narrative, messages,images that we have become obsessed with celebrating with little regard to the health of the body 😢

During the final treatment session with a delightful young teen who had successfully recovered from Anorexia Nervosa, I made reference to the "increased insight" I had witnessed him develop through his treatment journey. His response has stayed with me and influenced my view on the topic ever since.

"I get what you're saying", he said. "However, it was a really confusing time for me", he continued. He then went on to recount an incident I hadn't been aware of. "One Sunday afternoon, at a family BBQ, my uncle and 2 of his mates came up to me excitedly and said 'Duuuuude! You're so ripped! What's your secret?'. I was stoked! The very next day, however, I was admitted to the medical ward, stuck on a feeding tube, diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa, and told me that I could have died."

I wish I could say that these stories are rare, but unfortunately, they are all too common. Over the past decade, society has placed increasingly unrealistic expectations on what it means to "look good" or to "be fit". The 'ideal' male body has become excessively lean and muscular, making it unattainable for most and leading to a rise in unhealthy behaviors in pursuit of this unattainable standard. If we want to reduce body-image issues, eating disorders, and their many related problems, we must fundamentally change the ideals that we uphold and the expectations that we place on ourselves and on others.

Wonderful course, get booking..

Meet Sarah. Sarah was in an abusive relationship for three years. During that time, her partner used cruel comments about her body and weight to control and belittle her. As a coping mechanism, Sarah developed disordered eating habits. Food became both a comfort and a weapon used against her.
When Sarah finally found the courage to leave the relationship, she realised her battle with food and body image was far from over. Her self-esteem had been shattered, and she struggled with both her mental and physical health.

Sarah's story is just one example of how domestic abuse can lead to severe eating disorders and body image issues. In our upcoming 2-hour intensive course, "Domestic Abuse, Disordered Eating, and Eating Disorders," we will discover these connections and provide you with the tools to support individuals like Sarah.

Join us to learn more about:
* How abusive relationships can trigger disordered eating.
* The psychological impact of body shaming and weight control.
* Strategies for supporting survivors and addressing both domestic abuse and eating disorders and disordered eating.

Josh thought mental health support wasn't for him, but after experiencing the benefits of therapy, he wants to empower other young men to ask for help too.

So gutted to not be part of this important March. Ironically I was presenting NEDDE Training for working with the neurodivergent client within eating disorder treatment. If this is missed it’s damaging and can lead to more trauma and a label as resistant to treatment. So pleased this March gave so many a voice 💪

Staying within one track of thought, modality, diagnosis can have long term impacts that require such untangling…deeply curious,open, accepting minds are needed in order for human beings to truly be seen and treated for the uniquely wonderful individual they are 💜
