Trauma-informed eating disorder therapy for teens and adults in California
Be honest with yourself.
You're tired.
You're tired of fighting a body that only wants to be your home, tired of trying to move forward when the past won't leave you alone, and even more tired of fighting yourself.
The good news is that you don't have to figure it out on your own.
At Wildflower Eating Disorder and Trauma Therapy, I offer trauma-informed support to help you nurture a kinder relationship with food, with your body, and with yourself.
Hi! I'm Makenzie,
and I see you.
I see you doubting you'll find body image healing after your eating disorder.
I understand the struggle of feeling controlled by food.
I know how painful it can be to heal childhood trauma as an adult survivor.
I firmly believe that you can find peace, and I offer trauma-informed, virtual eating disorder therapy that can help you get there.
You only get one body. Why not bloom where you are planted?
You weren't born hating your body. But, somewhere along the way, something changed.
Maybe trauma wounded your nervous system, making it hard to feel safe in your body. Perhaps diet culture convinced you that your body wasn't good enough and needed to be changed. Or maybe you were so young when you waged the war on your body that you don't remember a time when the two of you were a team.
Whatever it was that introduced you to body hatred still has a grip on you today. You cringe at the sight of your reflection, avoid connecting with your felt sense, and fight to control your body at all costs.
But, the truth is that you're exhausted. The things you have used to cope for so long aren't quite working anymore, but the alternative to them is terrifying.
If you have been looking for a sign that there is something better out there, here it is. Eating disorder recovery is worth it. Life is so much richer than what your eating disorder allows it to be.
The truth is that you and your body are in this for the long run. You only get to experience this life once, and it's in the body that you have. It is possible to heal your body image after an eating disorder. That's where our work comes in.
