If this video helps one person, one tiny tiny bit, I am happy! Hope you like it
Worrywart Parents or Are They On To Something?
Dear Kati, First I want to say thanks for all that you do on this site! IT’s great! I have a question for you if you don’t mind answering. My eating disorder behaviors and tendices began in 4th grade (anorexia) and went full blown in 9th grade of high school. I’m a senior now and I’d like to say I’ve been pretty symptom free for a good year now and [...]
Meal Plans!! How Do They Get Created And Do We Have A Say?
This video touches on when we will get a meal plan, how one is put together, and how much say we have as one is created for us. What we learn is that it really depends on the level of care. If we are in a residential or hospital program there may not be that many choices and once you have chosen what to eat each day for that week [...]
Laxatives & Diet Pills
This is a video topic that comes from questions and requests that I have received from one of my subscribers. She wanted to know about diet pills and laxatives and what they do to our bodies when we take them. I want to start by saying that this is not a scare tactic. It is not my goal to ever scare any of you into recovery. Recovery is a difficult [...]
Sexuality and Menstruating
I know that the topic I am about to discuss is something that many people feel terribly uncomfortable about and some are even ashamed by it. My hope is that through this article we can celebrate what it means to be a woman as well as begin the journey of embracing our own personal sexuality. My favorite book on the topic of sexuality is Eating in the Light of the [...]
EDNOS - Eating Disorder Video Series - Healthy Mind, Healthy Body! by Kati Morton, MFTI
I created this video because I have been hearing from a lot of you that you want to discuss the diagnosis of EDNOS (eating disorder not otherwise specified). Now EDNOS is really a “catch all” for people who have an eating disorder but do not quite meet the criteria for the other diagnosis. As I have said before in other videos, these diagnosis are created for professionals in the field [...]
Taking Responsibility - Eating Disorder Video
I created this video because I feel that many therapist and clients focus their work on the past and what has been done to them. I wanted to express how important I feel the past is, but also how much it can hold us back from doing the hard work. If we spend so much time looking back and talking about what bad things happened to us we cannot move [...]
Treatment Options
I hear from many people online that they would like to know more about the treatment options for people suffering from an eating disorder and what it is like in those facilities once they get there. The first option that I assume everyone is aware of is outpatient treatment. This means that you see a therapist, dietician, and any other members of your treatment team (see video for more information [...]
Toxic People
I created this video to remind us to evaluate who we spend our time with and how we feel afterwards. I know that I have encountered a few “toxic friends” in my time and I know that it is hard to let them go, but I do know that I feel much better not having them in my life. What I call “toxic friends” are people in your life that [...]
Listen to YOUR inner voice - Eating Disorder Video #10
Listen to YOUR inner voice – Eating Disorder Video #10 I made this video to begin work on figuring out how to get in touch with our inner selves. We hear a lot of voices every day, on TV, on the radio, even in magazines and we slowly lose touch with what we REALLY want and what is REALLY good for us. By taking time to remember ourselves before we [...]
