The eating disorder had taken complete control over my mind and body. Growing up in a very strict Christian family, I did what I was told and punished, if not without communication or negotiation. There was no focus on solving personal problems or difficult emotions, so I quickly learned to suppress my emotions while difficulties were prayed away. My eating disorder became a coping mechanism, slowly taking over my life. With no knowledge of how to regulate emotions naturally and compassionately, inner chaos grew rapidly. It came to a point where I felt no one would care if I didn’t exist. Hear how I found a therapist who truly cared, listened, and acknowledged my emotions. Through our journey, I reconnected with my emotions and healed my self-worth. Learn how yoga, meditation, and self-development practices helped change my negative patterns and start working on my inner world. This empowered me to realize that my opinions mattered and that I could create the life I wanted. This is my story.
