👏👏 for this reframe by Olivia March Howell - “she let herself go” is a diet culture term that applies moral failure and shame to body change. What if letting yourself go meant letting go of your obsessive eating habits and thoughts? Or letting go of punishing your body to fit into a certain size or gender stereotype? Or letting go of the pressure to work out a certain way or amount of times? What if letting yourself go meant full freedom from your eating disorder?

We believe letting yourself go just means letting go of listening to your inner critic and finding freedom of expression. We’d love to help you find that 🦋

Advice from a fourth grader: snacks are a coping skill

Overstimulation and dysregulation often get worse when we’re hungry, under-fueled, or running on empty. A snack can provide sensory grounding, stabilize energy, and help your nervous system feel safe enough to reset.

While we need a variety of coping skills to support our various emotions, don’t forget to do a scan for hunger and ask yourself if you have eaten lately?

Regulation sometimes looks like emotional processing, talking, or sensory integration. Sometimes it looks like goldfish crackers and a cold drink 💙

Let’s talk about “termination” - discharge, pausing, taking a break, or saying goodbye. It’s not a subject often discussed but ending a therapy chapter can bring up more emotions than you may have expected. You might feel proud of your progress and, at the same time, sad, anxious, or unsure about saying goodbye. Those reactions are valid—therapy is a meaningful relationship, and the work you have done it life altering, and it makes sense that ending it can feel significant.

Reaching this point is also a reflection of the work you’ve done. You’ve built skills, insight, and the ability to support yourself in ways that once felt out of reach. That doesn’t disappear when therapy ends—it goes with you.

If this transition feels emotional, it doesn’t mean you’re not ready. It often means the connection mattered.

Healing continues outside the therapy space, and you don’t have to do it perfectly. And if you ever need support again, therapy is still there—an open door you can return to whenever it feels right.

Growing up in the 80’s in conservative Christian circles, I was surrounded by women who never felt “good enough” due to their bodies deemed imperfections and convoluted spiritual jargon with dieting. For a lot of women, Lent wasn’t about surrender—it was about control. Control over food, over bodies, over something that felt “undisciplined.” And when you wrap that in morality, it gets harder to question. Heavenly bodies became something to be wistful about because they would be “perfect” - aka thin.

This was powerful messaging that took me years to deconstruct as I grew up. As a result of our lived experiences, myself and are passionate about combining religious deconstruction into recovery narratives. We’d love to work with you so Easter can be about true renewal in the years to come for you 🐣💐
