Eating Issues

What are Eating Issues?

Eating issues describe ongoing difficulties with food, eating behaviors, or body related thoughts that cause distress or interfere with daily life. This can include restrictive eating, binge eating, emotional eating, or chaotic patterns around food. Eating issues exist on a spectrum and do not always meet criteria for an eating disorder. Therapy focuses on restoring a healthier relationship with food and the body.

How Eating Issues Affect Your Life

Eating issues can dominate thoughts, routines, and emotions. People may experience guilt, shame, anxiety, or loss of control around food. Social situations often become stressful, and self worth may become tied to eating or weight. Over time, these patterns can affect physical health, mood, and relationships.

Body Image Concerns

What are Body Image Concerns?

Body image concerns involve persistent negative thoughts, feelings, or beliefs about one’s appearance. These concerns can range from dissatisfaction to intense self criticism. They often develop in response to cultural standards, comparison, or past experiences. Therapy focuses on building a more compassionate and realistic relationship with the body.

How Body Image Concerns Affect Your Life

Body image concerns can affect confidence, intimacy, social life, and mental health. People may avoid mirrors, photos, or social situations, or engage in constant comparison. Over time, this can limit enjoyment of life and contribute to anxiety or depression.

Body Dysmorphia

What is Body Dysmorphia?

Body dysmorphia, often referred to as body dysmorphic disorder, involves intense preoccupation with perceived flaws in appearance that are minor or not visible to others. These thoughts can be distressing and time consuming. Therapy helps reduce fixation, distress, and avoidance behaviors.

How Body Dysmorphia Affects Your Life

Body dysmorphia can lead to compulsive checking, reassurance seeking, or avoidance of social situations. It often impacts mood, relationships, and daily functioning.

Chronic Pain

What is Chronic Pain?

Chronic pain refers to ongoing physical pain that persists for weeks, months, or longer, often continuing beyond the expected period of healing. Unlike acute pain, which serves as a warning signal, chronic pain can become a condition in its own right. It may fluctuate in intensity and can affect any part of the body. Chronic pain is often influenced by both physical and psychological factors, making it a complex and deeply personal experience that impacts more than just the body.

How Chronic Pain Affects Your Life

Living with chronic pain can affect nearly every area of daily life. Persistent discomfort can limit mobility, disrupt sleep, and reduce energy levels, making everyday tasks feel overwhelming. Many people experience changes in mood, including frustration, anxiety, or low mood, as pain interferes with work, relationships, and leisure activities. Over time, individuals may withdraw socially or feel misunderstood by others who cannot see their pain. Chronic pain can also challenge identity and self confidence, especially when it alters independence or long term plans.

Physical Disability

What is Physical Disability?

Physical disability refers to a condition that affects movement, coordination, strength, or physical functioning. This may be present from birth, develop through illness, or occur following injury or accident. Physical disability can be visible or invisible and may change over time. Beyond physical limitations, it often brings emotional, psychological, and social challenges. Adjusting to changes in independence, identity, and daily routines can be just as impactful as managing physical symptoms.

How Physical Disability Affects Your Life

Living with a physical disability can influence many areas of life, including work, relationships, self confidence, and independence. Tasks that were once automatic may require planning, assistance, or adaptation. People may experience frustration, grief, or a sense of loss related to changes in their body or abilities. Social barriers, accessibility issues, and misunderstandings from others can add further stress. Over time, these challenges can affect mood, motivation, and overall wellbeing if not adequately supported.
