You’re not alone

You’re experiencing this problem because…

01. Body Image Pressure

Feeling pressured to meet unrealistic beauty standards and the desire for a perfect body can lead to dissatisfaction, prompting harmful eating behaviours as a way to gain control.

02. Emotional Coping

Difficulty handling emotions like stress or sadness may drive individuals to use food-related behaviours as a coping mechanism, seeking comfort or distraction from emotional challenges.

03. Social Factors

Societal beauty ideals and social media comparisons can contribute to feelings of inadequacy. This may lead to a negative self-perception and trigger disordered eating behaviours in an attempt to fit in or measure up.

frequently asked questions

No, this is not a substitute to formal treatment. This course will provide you an introduction to mindfulness, a brief overview of what urges are and how to identify and work with them mindfully, but does not provide the other core components of evidence-based therapy. We recommend if you are looking for therapy to review the list of credentialed providers via Connect Ed

We do not provide any guarantees in this program. Mindfulness is a skill that requires practice to be effective. You may find immediate relief from urges or you may find you need to practice the skills again and again before you notice change.

This course is targeted for people living with an eating problem, however, it can be helpful for families to gain some insight into the difficulties faced by people living with eating problems and to also learn mindfulness skills. With knowledge of the skills, families are able to support their loved one to implement these when they are struggling.
