What is Disordered Eating?

Disordered eating is a preoccupation with food that often takes the form of either eating insufficient or excessive amounts. Disordered eating often represents a coping mechanism for stress or negative emotions, and/or an unhealthy self-image. Disordered eating typically follows one of three behaviour patterns: eating insufficiently, eating followed by purging, or binge-eating.

  • Explores the emotional and psychological roots behind eating behaviors

  • Helps develop a healthier relationship with food, body, and self

  • Teaches coping strategies to manage stress, anxiety, or trauma without using food

  • Challenges harmful thoughts around weight, body image, and self-worth

  • Provides support for rebuilding body trust and self-compassion

  • Helps break the cycle of restrictive eating, bingeing, or purging

  • Addresses perfectionism, control issues, or low self-esteem

  • Supports long-term recovery by identifying triggers and preventing relapse

  • Improves overall mental health alongside physical wellness
