Watching someone you love struggle with an eating disorder can be one of the scariest and most humbling experiences you can go through. So many of us want to swoop in and fix the problem; but unfortunately, it is not that simple. Eating disorders are often seen and treated as emotional-avoidance or emotion-driven disorders. For […]

Today at the grocery store, I was maneuvering my cart around and found myself blocked by someone walking slowly and taking up most of the aisle. I waited patiently in silence until he saw me and then said, “I’m sorry,” when he moved to make space for me to walk through. At that moment, I […]

“I know it’s not my fault, but I still feel guilty.” “I know it’s irrational, but I somehow feel like I deserve this.” “I think I’m a good person, but I feel like I can’t do anything right.” These statements describe the vast distance between what we logically know to be true and the depth […]

When setting out to write about depression, I find myself apprehensive. This is not due to writer’s block, or to a lack of clinical information or personal experience in treating my clients that suffer from the disorder. I hesitate out of concern that I will not do those who have been diagnosed enough justice. I […]

I can trace my first introduction to the practice of Yoga back to the now defunct teen magazine called Jump: For Girls Who Dare To Be Real. Each edition had a page that highlighted a specific pose with a pleasant illustration, a description of how to practice the pose, and most importantly, how to cultivate […]
