I talk a lot about self-care in my practice and in my day-to-day life and what I have noticed is that people who struggle with eating disorders and disordered eating tend to have the hardest time with it.

The main reason I stress self-care so much is because it taps into the healthy part of you that wants to be kind and nurturing towards yourself. The more we do this, the stronger that side becomes and therefore the more comfortable we become with ourselves and with our own worth.
