Weight-Loss Apocalypse

She has worked on and off with Robin for the past 4 years...This time around, she hit rock bottom. She is seeing that when she feels sorry for herself or that she can't handle a challenged, that's when her issues with food arose. She also didn't make the connection that she was obsessing over dieting and about food to control her feelings of inadequacy.

She was molested as a child, and lived in resentment about her body. Trying to "fix" her body became a huge coping mechanisms that ultimately triggered her survival mechanisms with food. We discuss what it took for her to let it go. She talks about the years of therapy that didn't get this type results. #bed #ed #complexptsd #bodyimage #recovery #bingeeatingdisorder #eatingdisorder #emotionaleating #foodaddiction #thinsupremacy #weightlossapocalypse #victimmentality #recovery

She believed she was addicted to sugar...after two weeks of work together she is blown away at how effortless it is to eat less sugar when she takes away the "badness." When you remove the pressure to lose weight, you remove the pressure to restrict "bad" food, and as the pressure to be perfect goes away, so does bingeing. This is the beginning of her recovery process, she will still need address underlying emotional relationships with food that are dysfunctional. #bed #ana #bodyimage #thinsupremacy #sugaraddiction #bingeeatingdisorder #recovery #bodylove #selfesteem #weightlossapocalypse #perfectionism #dietobsession

She hadn't had sex with her husband in over 6 months.... The martyr role and victim mentality for having accept your body is one of the biggest blocks to recovery. Unless you surrender the thinner body image, you'll have to suffer with your disordered eating and diet-binge-diet lifestyle.

She was put on a diet as a young child. She recalls the bingeing started after her mother chose to protect a boyfriend who was abusive, instead of protecting her daughter. We discussed in a previous session her resentment and total disappointment in her mother, and  dieting became and terrible punishment that made her feel the need to protect and entitle access to food. Because of dieting, food became an important way to take care of herself and to defend herself when she felt restful and angry. To recover, she will need to forgive her mother and compassion for why she developed a resentful need for food. #thinsupremacy #weightlossapocalpyse #bodyimage #sugaraddiction #foodaddiction #resentment #victimhood #dramatriangle #bingeeatingdisorder #bed #eatingdisorder #ed #help #rehab #escapingprison

She goes in and out of recovery and wants to stay recovered, but she also wants to be thinner and feels like a victim. It can feel like death and that life is worthless even though you'd be free from ED suffering and open to living life authentically. This client continues to get stuck when she feels powerless and like a victim. She continues to believe her suffering is other people's fault, blaming life, her body, her parents, and recovery for her misery. This is typical when a person has narcissistic tendencies.
