      <image:title>Blog - An Eating Disorder Therapist’s Guide to Navigating the Holidays With Your Loved One - If you’re heading into the holiday season feeling unsure about how your loved one will handle the family meals, food traditions, and shifting routines, you’re not alone. Many caregivers start noticing changes this time of year—more worry about what’s being served, more questions about ingredients, or a new level of rigidity around plans. Behaviors that once looked like “healthy choices” might now feel concerning.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 6 Signs Your Relationship with Exercise Might Be Unhealthy — and How to Heal It - With the excitement of the New York City Marathon this past weekend, you might find yourself reflecting on your own relationship with movement. Maybe you feel inspired to set new goals, build a consistent routine, or push yourself to new limits. At first, that motivation can feel energizing — even empowering. You feel proud of your discipline, and it’s validating when others notice your dedication or call you “so good” about working out. But in a culture that often equates fitness with worthiness, it’s easy for movement to shift from something supportive to something stressful — when what once felt like self-care starts to feel like an obligation.</image:title>
      <image:caption>So how can you tell if your relationship with exercise has crossed into disordered territory?</image:caption>

      <image:caption>You may have heard the suggestion before: What would you say to a friend in a moment like this? Or maybe a sibling. A niece or nephew. Even your pet. It’s a solid question — grounded in Cognitive Therapy — because it invites you to see the same situation from a different angle. Would you speak to someone you love the way you speak to yourself? Would you be as harsh, critical, or judgmental?</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 6 Steps to Cope with Negative Body Image During the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is back this Wednesday night—again. After a long hiatus starting in 2019 due to declining viewership, lack of body diversity, and company controversy, the show made a comeback in 2024 with a new look. This time, it’s leaning into inclusivity and empowerment, featuring models like Alex Consani, Anok Yai, Ashley Graham, and even icons like Carla Bruni. But let’s be honest—even with a more diverse lineup, watching a parade of gorgeous people strut down the runway in lingerie can still bring up some tough feelings. If you’ve ever struggled with body image, the show can feel more like a highlight reel of comparison than an empowering celebration. And that can take a toll—on your self-esteem, your mood, and sometimes even your relationship with food or your body. So how do you watch something like this without spiraling into self-criticism? Here are 6 ways to protect your peace while tuning in:</image:caption>
