Love that we are all working in the field of mental health and with kids. I work as a child and family therapist in a hospital outpatient program for youth 18 and under with mostly axis 1 diagnoses, anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, etc. I have talked with clients, when appropriate, about my own disordered eating history as they are working on their own eating/ not eating issues. I have food that my own mood has improved as I got more control over eating and let it have less control of me.
