My blue sky I am searching for my blue sky, I am not a one for looking people in the eye. My life it is full of memories that leave my sky so grey, I have so much I want to say. Like I take all these knocks because I believe I deserve the pain, Overthinking everything drives me insane. I am scared of not liking the real me, Afraid [...]
Emotions and feelings that don’t make sense I am tried and exhausted of emotions that don’t make sense, It is so hard to be around family right now everything seems so tense, When you feel that you fought through so many of your personal battles alone. It can feel like your bodies turned to stone. There are only so many hits I can take, It won’t be long till I [...]
honestly didn’t think that I would have this much trouble finding my place in college. I’m going to a small (around 900 students), very hippie college about an hour and a half away from where I live in NC. It’s a really unique awesome little school. It’s a work college; every student on campus has a job, no matter your financial status, you are required to have a job, and [...]
Another week, another video. Except this week it isn’t just “another video”. It’s probably one of my most important to date. I can’t tell you how many times since I have started working as a therapist that I hear about suicidal thoughts, attempts etc. I don’t say this to make light of the situation. I do say it so that you understand that it happens. It is my belief that [...]
This week’s video is just something that I would like to share with all of you. I realize that many of you have concerns when it comes to inpatient or residential treatment; what will it be like? What do they ask me when I call? What is it like when I get there? As well as many other questions about it and what we can expect when we finally decide we [...]
This week’s video is about sexual desire, libido and how our ED can affect it. I had to do some research on this because I had my assumptions, but I wanted to know what the data states. Just so you know, 45-50% of those suffering with AN (anorexia nervosa) and 35-40% of those suffering from bulimia nervosa, EDNOS, and binge eating disorder struggle with the loss of or decrease in [...]
This week’s video addresses a topic that I feel gets a lot of heat. I get questions every week about this and I know that even loved ones of those of us with ED’s wonder too. The question is, am I sick enough to get help? or how sick do I have to be to get help? To be honest, just by asking that question the answer is already yes, [...]
I created this video due to some questions that I received from a subscriber on YouTube. She wanted to know what art therapy is, how it works, what is expected etc. Art therapy is used a lot in treatment facilities for eating disorders, substance abuse and pretty much another other type of ailment that we would go into treatment for. The reason for this is because it is a healthy [...]
I know that many of us have worried about people finding out about our eating disorders or have had certain people judge us because we have or have had one. How do we deal with it? How do we make sure that people are not judging us and assuming other things because of our ED? We talk about it! We share the information! We tell them how it is for [...]
This video is another breathing technique. I know that usually I give you relaxing ones, but I realized that many of us actually need energy during our day and so I thought this one could be helpful too! This technique is one that is used in yoga a lot and is called the breath of fire. I know it sounds really intense, but I promise it is not too hard:) [...]
