Eating disorders have been receiving more attention in the media as awareness grows about their seriousness and prevalence.
A growing concern in mental health is the influence of social media trends on eating disorders, where extreme thinness, restrictive diets, and unhealthy body ideals are shown through quick, viral videos.
Experts warn this content can directly contribute to the development or exacerbation of eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia, and ARFID, highlighting an urgent need for accessible and effective treatment options.
Here at York Therapy Clinic, we offer eating disorder therapy in York, grounded in empathy, respect, and proven clinical techniques.
Why This Matters
Exposure to harmful diet culture, especially at formative ages, can distort self-image and reinforce disordered eating patterns. When weight loss is equated with worth, and food is framed as an adversary, recovery becomes a much steeper climb.
It’s not just about what’s seen; it’s the messages that resonate beneath the surface, shaping how individuals feel about their bodies, their self-worth, and their mental health.
How Eating Disorder Therapy Can Help
Therapy provides a safe, confidential environment to explore the emotional roots of disordered eating. By working with one of our experienced therapists, you can:
Evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and person-centred counselling can help individuals regain a sense of balance, control, and self-acceptance.
Therapy also provides support for the wider challenges that may come alongside an eating disorder, such as anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem.
