Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! 🥰

YES!!! 💗

Y’all know therapists are my favorite. But it KILLS me every time I get a new client & they share about their experiences seeing non-ED therapists when they struggle with disordered eating or an ED.

I actually have a whole training I’m working on for you guys about this, but in the meantime, please feel free to Google these terms & look for peer-reviewed articles about them, not Joe Blow the fitness/wellness guru who finds fat unappealing.

Also, never ever ever ever ever suggest or encourage a diet/food “lifestyle change” to any client ever. Ever.

I love you. Thanks.

ED therapists & dietitians, what else do you want non-ED providers to know so they can truly do no harm?

The sooner we stop dividing up foods into 'good' and 'bad' - the better. We should not attach morality to food items - nor should we judge anyone based on their physical appearances.

Books about food, bodies, hunger, and eating disorders have been so helpful as I've worked through my own unhealthy habits. Here are some of my favorites.
