Support for Loved Ones
Caring for a loved one with an eating disorder can greatly impact your own wellbeing. Signs of caregiver burnout when caring for someone with an eating disorder can include:
- Feeling down or hopeless
- Withdrawing from your normal activities
- Decreased empathy towards your loved one with an eating disorder
- Resentment towards your loved one
- Sense of helplessness
- Neglecting your own self care
My Approach
You matter, too.
Having a loved one with an eating disorder can be incredibly challenging and often requires significant emotional support. You may feel uncertain about how best to help them or even how to take care of yourself. You might also be balancing competing demands from your loved one, your job, and your other relationships. When these pressures are combined with uncertainty about whether your efforts are truly helping, they can lead to caregiver burnout.
I provide individual therapy to help you practice the self-care you need during this time. You can’t pour from an empty cup. You deserve a place where you can process the ups and downs of loving someone who has an eating disorder in a safe, supportive space while receiving guidance along the way.
