Online Eating Disorder Treatment in California

 

Start relating to your body and food with more self-trust. We’ll support you along the way.

There was a time not many years ago when the biggest problem for most humans was how they were going to find the food they needed to survive. Now, many of us spend hours every day obsessing over which foods to eat, the way we look, what we wear, and what we say. Luckily, making peace with your body and food is possible.

We seek to bring healing to the world through our focus on eating disorder recovery and liberation for all bodies.

We aim to foster an affirming atmosphere where all suffering is welcome all people are celebrated.

Our shared wish is that the shame of suffering that so often accompanies mental health struggles can be held with tenderness and wisdom.

It is our mission to educate, honor, and support people of all backgrounds as they traverse the terrain of recovery to reclaim their life.

 

All bodies are worthy bodies and deserve to be treated with kindness and compassion.

You have sovereignty over your body and Body Trust is a birthright.

Everybody is worthy of love, respect, and belonging.

You are the expert on yourself and your lived experience.

We focus on eating disorder recovery for all bodies

 
 
 

We believe bodies are political.

There are forms of oppression based on prejudice due to race, size, sexual orientation, gender, abilities, ethnicity and backed by legal authority and institutional control that affects how some bodies are treated and the type of justice they receive. We cannot help people heal their relationship with their bodies without looking at these systems of oppression and their racist roots.

We believe eating disorders are social justice issues.

We support social justice work to end weight stigma and discrimination that permeate our diet culture that promotes thin, white, straight, cis-gender, able bodies as better bodies. As a member of Project HEAL’s Healer Circle, we donate care so that equitable access to recovery services for diverse bodies is more readily available.

 Kindful Body’s Key Values for Disordered Eating Treatment


Self-compassion

Self-compassion is really treating ourselves the same way we would treat someone we love when they are struggling. When we adopt a kinder attitude toward ourselves, we are able to combat the negative effects of harmful practices such as perfectionism, shame, and negative body image by allowing ourselves space to grow, break, heal, fall and get back up again.

Self-acceptance

Self-acceptance is the most powerful tool we can have in our arsenal to nurture our bodies and our lives and protect ourselves from the negative energy that causes us to fall into the habit of comparing ourselves to others, getting jealous, and feeling judged. In order to truly feel love and belonging among others, we must start with self-acceptance.

Self-care

In the 24/7 world we live in and when there are so many other people and tasks vying for our attention, it can be hard to take time to take care of ourselves. But self-care is vital to our emotional and physical well-being. Self-care is not self-indulgent. It is a wonderful way to give ourselves love. When we take time to practice self-care, we allow ourselves to reset and refresh so we can be fully present for both ourselves and others.

Self-love

Self-love is one of the kindest things we can do for ourselves and others. When you openly love yourself for who you are, you allow yourself to love others as they are. You, beautiful soul, are worthy of all the love and affection this world has to offer. Make it a habit to love yourself freely and fully today, and every day.
