A lot of my clients will tell me they don't think their eating disorder is bad enough. One reason they feel this way can be the fact that they are still functioning.

So lets discuss why this is and what to do about it - tune in! Do you need mor...

If you struggle with an eating disorder, chances are you've thought about calories as 'something scary', something to be limited and something negative. However, I argue that you aren't actually scared of calories at all. You're scared of what they mean to you. And by not tackling the fear of calories, but rather the fear of that what calories signify to you, you can take steps...

Why do we sometimes need to eat mor...
