- overexercising
- “orthorexia”
Our Eating Disorder treatment philosophy:
- we are not a weight loss clinic and we do not promote dieting and other forms of weight manipulation
- we respect individual differences in weight, shape and size
- we respect an individual’s timeline and readiness to make changes in their recovery
- we believe that recovery from an eating disorder is possible no matter how long you’ve been struggling
- we believe that sometimes a team approach works best – this might require collaboration with your doctor, therapist, dietitian
- we work alongside you and at your pace to find strategies that benefit you and get your life back on track
- we believe that in order to recover one needs to normalize eating and gain control of symptoms
- we support you in relapse prevention once recovery from an eating disorder is attained
- we believe that family and friends can play an important role in recovery
- we help you understand the issues that might be driving the eating disorder so that you maintain your recovery after treatment is over
