❓Bienvenue à la première de notre nouvelle série de questions-réponses, dans laquelle nous répondrons à certaines des questions les plus fréquemment posées ! Q : Combien de temps faut-il pour se remettre d'un trouble de l'alimentation ? R : La guérison d'un trouble alimentaire est unique pour chaque personne et il n'y a pas de délai fixe. Il peut avoir un aspect et une signification différents pour chaque personne. ❤ Pour certains, la guérison peut prendre des mois, tandis que pour d'autres, elle peut prendre des années. La guérison n'est pas linéaire, ce qui signifie qu'il y aura des hauts et des bas en cours dans le processus. L'expérience de chaque personne est différente et il est important de se rappeler qu'il est normal d'avancer à son propre rythme. Soyez patient et bienveillant envers vous-même - le rétablissement est possible, même si vous n'en avez pas l'impression pour l'instant. 💬 Avez-vous d'autres questions auxquelles vous aimeriez que l'on réponde ? Posez-les en commentaire ci-dessous et restez à l'écoute pour d'autres publications de cette série ! -- ❓Welcome to the first of our new Q&A series, where we will answer some of the most frequently asked questions ! Q: How long does it take to recover from an eating disorder? A: Recovery from an eating disorder is unique for each person, and there’s no set timeline. It may look like and mean something different to each person. 💖 For some, recovery can take months, while for others, it may take years. Healing is non-linear, meaning there will be ups and downs along the way. Every person’s experience is different, and important to remember that it's okay to move at your own pace. Be patient and kind to yourself—recovery is possible even if it does not feel like it right now. 💬 Do you have other questions you want answered ?

🤔 Ever wonder how we integrate different therapeutic modalities in our counselling sessions ? 👩‍💼 In this reel, our dietitian Stefanie demonstrates how we integrate IFS, ACT, and DBT into our nutrition sessions to help clients process emotions, develop coping skills, and rebuild a compassionate relationship with food, all in a safe, trauma-informed environment. Here’s how we integrate different therapeutic approaches with care and compassion: ✨ Internal Family Systems (IFS): IFS helps you explore the different “parts” of yourself—like the part that struggles with self-criticism or the part that longs for healing. We gently work to understand and heal these parts, allowing you to reconnect with your true self and cultivate compassion for all aspects of who you are. 🌱 Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): ACT encourages you to accept difficult thoughts and feelings without judgment, empowering you to take mindful actions toward your values. In our work together, ACT helps you navigate emotional triggers around food and body image while staying focused on what truly matters to you in recovery. ⚖️ Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): DBT teaches practical skills to manage overwhelming emotions and develop healthier coping mechanisms. We help you build emotional resilience, using mindfulness and distress tolerance techniques to find balance in your eating habits and daily life, even when things feel challenging. ❤️‍🩹 All of these approaches are trauma-informed, meaning we recognize and honor the experiences that may have contributed to your eating disorder. Our goal is to support you in a safe, empathetic space where you can heal at your own pace, rebuild trust in yourself, and develop a more peaceful relationship with food, your body, and your emotions 🔗 Does this type of nutrition counselling seem interesting to you ?

😓 As dietitians, we often encounter clients who struggle to open up because they feel overwhelmed, they fear that they may be judged, they haven’t developed a sense of trust with us, and for many other reasons. 📚 In her new course, Advanced Nutrition Counseling for Eating Disorder Dietitians Through a Relational Lens, Annyck dives into several strategies on how to engage with these types of clients with empathy, patience and understanding.

⚖️ Weight loss can feel like the answer to many of your problems, but it often masks deeper struggles.
