When you need couples counseling
By the time I get the phone call to schedule couples counseling, people can feel hopeless and desperate. Most couples wait too long and sadly that means it can be tougher to get things back on track. There are those relationships where people yell and slam doors and others where they quietly grow apart or grow bored till there is nothing left. The one thing they have in common is the depth of the disruption to people’s lives. It’s hard to be at peace when one of the most important relationships in your life is broken.

How to take care of your real needs without using food
IN GOOD TIMES AND BAD, FOOD IS A RELIABLE COPING MECHANISM
When you use food to deal with stressors in your life, it can be really easy to overeat. Most of us use food to deal with both the good times and bad. You had a great day at work, so you want to celebrate with food. You had a bad day at work, so you want to comfort yourself with food.
When eating in your bedroom is a bad idea
This post is not meant to shame anyone or their habits. I understand the temptation to eat in the bedroom. It can feel cozy and safe. I have had clients for whom eating dinner with their family was a chaotic time, and, in some cases, a time when they were emotionally abused or shamed. So I never want to make a rule for everyone that says you should NEVER do something like eat in your room.
Can eating too healthy be unhealthy?
Believe it or not, there is such a thing as too much healthy eating. As a culture, we are obsessed with food, weight, physical appearance, and thinness. I am all for being healthy, but sometimes it can become a preoccupation that becomes obsessive and compulsive. When the desire for healthy and nutritional eating becomes obsessive, it can turn into an eating disorder called orthorexia nervosa. Call our Houston eating disorder therapists today if you are struggling with your eating. 713-565-0922
