What Causes an Eating Disorder?
The causes of eating disorders are complex and multifaceted, and can often be a combination of genetic, biological, psychological, and sociocultural factors. Genetic predisposition, personality traits, and a history of dieting or weight-related teasing can increase the risk of developing an eating disorder. Additionally, societal pressures regarding body image and appearance can contribute to the development of disordered eating patterns. At Stefanie R. Therapy, the treatment of eating disorders is approached from a holistic and whole-person perspective. This means that our treatment methods not only focus on addressing the symptoms of the eating disorder but also explore the underlying causes and contributing factors. By understanding the root causes of your eating disorder, we can work towards healing and developing a healthier relationship with food and our bodies. We believe in health at every size approach, never assuming that your weight dictates your health. Treatment for an eating disorder is not a one-size-fits-all process, and we believe we must take a unique and deliberate approach for all of our clients.
