What are eating disorders?

Eating disorders are serious mental health conditions characterized by disturbances in eating behaviors, body image, and weight regulation.

These patterns may include irregular eating habits, excessive dieting, or other behaviors that impact an individual’s physical and mental well-being. 

 It is important to recognize that eating disorders and disordered eating patterns can affect individuals of all genders, ages, and backgrounds, and seeking professional help is crucial for effective intervention and support. 

How will Dance/Movement Therapy help with eating disorders? 

 Dance/movement therapy (DMT) can be a valuable therapeutic approach in addressing eating disorders by integrating movement as a means of self-expression, self-discovery, and healing.  

By engaging in purposeful movement, individuals can explore the emotional underpinnings of their eating disorder behaviors and work towards a more holistic understanding of themselves. 

It's Important to note that dance/movement therapy is often used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for eating disorders, and collaboration with a multidisciplinary team is recommended to address the various aspects of these complex conditions.
