Eating Disorders

If we had a time for overtime people wanted to see just a therapist to work on their recovery, we would be rich! Why do we insist on you seeing a deititan? Because eating disorders totally mess with your ability to know how to feed yourself.

In the realm of eating disorders research, few studies have garnered as much attention as the Fiji studies conducted in the 1990s. These groundbreaking investigations shed light on the profound impact of Western media on body image and eating behaviors, particularly among young women in Fiji. As we explore these studies, we uncover valuable lessons about the media’s role in shaping attitudes toward body image and the prevalence of eating disorders.

From what our culture, families, and eating disorders teach us about feelings, you’d think that they’re irrelevant or incidental to our well-being at best, that they have no valid function, and are merely annoying distractions. However, feelings actually do have a function—a crucial one—for everyone on the planet.   Hard-wired into us, they are an essential part of being human.
