Weight stigma isn’t just about bodies—it’s about belonging.

When we grow up in a culture that constantly ties our worth to size, it reinforces insecure attachment patterns: fear of rejection, pulling away from connection, or feeling stuck in shame.

None of these are flaws in you, they’re reflections of the messages you’ve absorbed.

Healing doesn’t come from shrinking yourself. It comes from finding safe relationships, spaces that affirm body diversity, and care that honors you.

We get it. As parents ourselves, we’re in it with you, and we feel the same pressures you do.

If you want support navigating parenthood, we’re also here to help you do that.

In the meantime, please remember: You’re not failing your kids. You’re not doing it wrong. You deserve the same grace you give everyone else while you navigate parenthood.

During the school year, your kids are taking in a lot of opinions and experiences around food.

It’s just the reality, but it doesn’t mean you can’t support your child in navigating it all.

As a parent, you can continually reinforce a neutral relationship with food by keeping these reminders in regular rotation!

The shift into fall brings change: shorter days, cooler nights, and new rhythms. 🍁

It’s also a perfect time to notice how your attachment style shapes the way you care for yourself.

These ideas aren’t rules, they’re gentle invitations. Think of them as seasonal practices that can help you feel grounded, connected, and cared for, no matter where you are on your healing journey.

This fall, let it be about what truly supports you.

Self-care has become a buzzword, but the actual practice of taking care of yourself in whatever way works for you IS very important.

That’s why we love this idea of “sustainability practices” from our CALM Counseling practitioner, Leah!

What sustainability practices make sense for your life and routine? Remember, the goal of these is to nourish and support you, not add more to your plate. So choose wisely!

Our attachment styles don’t just show up in relationships.

They impact how we eat, cope, and even how we feel around food. Learning to decode your attachment style through this lens can bring clarity and compassion to your healing journey.

Instead of judgment, think of it as a roadmap. The patterns you see aren’t flaws. They’re clues to help you better understand your needs, your triggers, and how to move toward a more secure, nourishing relationship with both food and yourself.

Grief shows up a lot when healing your relationship with food and your body.

We want to remind you that this is normal and expected.

Your coping mechanisms and disordered behaviors served you for a long time. They kept you safe, made you feel secure, and were perhaps all you had sometimes.

Therapy creates a safe space to feel that grief, work through it, and come out the other side with compassion for yourself and what you’ve been through.

If you’re ready for support like this, we’d love to help you. Request an appointment through our bio link.

If we want to create truly safe spaces for clients, we have to do the inner work too.

Unlearning weight bias isn’t just a bonus—it’s essential. Because when we carry unexamined beliefs about bodies into the room, it impacts how we treat, how we listen, and who feels welcome to heal.

Clients deserve care that sees beyond size. Let's start with ourselves.

If you want to learn more about this, plus better understand how to support your clients with food and body image challenges, buy our course on , “Hungry for Security: Healing Disordered Eating Through an Attachment Lens.”

While artificial attachments aren’t “bad” it’s the way we use them that determine their impact.

These aren’t sustainable sources of security—they come from outside of us.

For example, if you’re controlling food intake to create a sense of security, you may continually experience the anxiety that comes with disordered eating, or worse.

It’s important to understand which artificial attachments we’re holding onto in order to heal and start developing a secure attachment.

Then you can enjoy all of these things (as is humans to do!) without *needing* them to feel safe and secure.
