What Is Disordered Eating?
You don’t have to meet a diagnosis to deserve support.
Disordered eating includes patterns and thoughts around food, exercise, or body image that cause distress or interfere with daily life. It might look like constant worry about food, rigid rules around eating, guilt after meals, or emotional eating.

What is disordered eating?
How is disordered eating therapy different from traditional eating disorder treatment?
At Well Space Holistic Therapy, we take a gentle, trauma-informed approach that goes beyond symptom management. We focus on understanding the emotional and physical roots of your patterns, integrating somatic therapy, mindfulness, and nervous system regulation to promote long-term healing and self-trust.
What happens during a disordered eating therapy session?
Sessions are collaborative and move at your pace. Together, we’ll explore your experiences around food and body, practice grounding and mindfulness techniques, and work toward reconnecting with your body’s natural signals for hunger, fullness, and safety.
Do I need a formal eating disorder diagnosis to start therapy?
Not at all. Many people struggle with disordered eating without meeting the criteria for an eating disorder. You deserve support, no matter where you are in your healing journey.
Can somatic therapy help with disordered eating?
Yes. Somatic therapy focuses on the mind-body connection, helping you notice and release physical tension or emotional blocks stored in the body. This awareness can be transformative for those who feel disconnected or anxious around food and body image.
