PERSONAL THERAPY FOR LOVED ONES

When someone close to you is living with an eating disorder, the experience can quietly take a toll on your own emotional well-being. You may notice heightened anxiety, frustration, sadness, or a sense of constant vigilance. For many people, this situation can also activate personal history around food, body image, control, or caregiving, even if those themes have not felt central before.

 

Personal therapy offers a space that is centered on you. It allows time to understand what is being stirred internally, to process the emotional weight of loving someone who is struggling, and to develop ways of responding that feel more grounded and sustainable. With support, many loved ones find greater clarity, steadiness, and self-compassion, which can support both their own well-being and the health of their relationships.
