Motherhood & Eating Disorders
Navigating motherhood while grappling with eating disorders can feel like riding the waves of an unpredictable ocean. For a mom with an eating disorder, it's like being caught in a relentless tide, struggling to stay afloat amidst turbulent thoughts and emotions. The waves of guilt, shame, and self-criticism crash against the shores of her mind, threatening to engulf her in their overwhelming force.
Similarly, for a mom whose child has an eating disorder, it's akin to sailing through stormy seas, with every gust of wind and tumultuous wave challenging her ability to steer the ship of family harmony. The ocean of uncertainty and worry stretches endlessly before her, and she must navigate treacherous waters while maintaining a steady course of love, support, and understanding for her child.
Yet, amidst the stormy seas, there is hope. Like a lighthouse guiding ships safely to shore, therapy can serve as a beacon of light for both moms and their children facing eating disorders. It offers a guiding star of compassion, healing, and resilience, illuminating a path towards calmer waters and brighter horizons.
In therapy, moms can learn to weather the storms of their eating disorders with courage and grace. They can discover the strength to anchor themselves in self-care, self-compassion, and healthy coping strategies, becoming steadfast pillars of support for themselves and their families. Together, they can navigate the ocean of recovery, riding the waves of growth, healing, and renewed hope.

Why should I consider therapy?
A woman with an eating disorder/mom with a child who has an eating disorder should consider therapy for several important reasons…
Therapy provides a safe and non-judgmental space for women to express their emotions, fears, and struggles related to the eating disorder. It offers emotional support and validation, helping women feel understood and less alone in their journey.
Therapy equips women with effective coping strategies to manage stress, triggers, and challenging situations related to the eating disorder. Therapists can teach relaxation techniques, problem-solving skills, and healthy ways to cope with emotions.
Therapy helps women gain a deeper understanding of the eating disorder, its underlying causes, and its impact on their lives and relationships. It provides education about nutrition, body image, and healthy behaviors, empowering women to make informed decisions.
Therapy helps improve communication within the family. Therapists work with women to enhance communication skills, foster open dialogue, and create a supportive environment for their child's recovery journey.
Therapy can strengthen the bond between women and their family by fostering empathy, trust, and mutual understanding. It helps women develop healthy relationship patterns, boundaries, and parenting strategies that support their child's recovery and well-being.
Therapy encourages women to prioritize self-care, self-compassion, and overall well-being. It promotes self-awareness, personal growth, and a positive mindset, empowering women to take care of themselves while supporting recovery.
