Body Expressions Eating Disorder Services

At the core of any eating disorder or body image struggles is a sense of unworthiness. The challenges are also a way to cope with emotions. Therefore, focusing on re-learning how to feel is an integral part of growth and recovery.

Your behaviors with food and your body image tell a story. We can use this story to better understand what is going on underneath your relationship with food and body image. We help you change your behaviors so you can have more availability to work on the underlying emotions. In turn, this helps you let go of needing the eating disorder/body image to help you cope.
