I will share with you the benefits of Massage Therapy & Life Coaching for your Recovery!
Touch allows people to reconnect to themselves and rediscover their bodies. In this process you begin releasing and “letting go” of thoughts and feelings that do not serve you well in your recovery. The body is then able to come back into balance and reclaim its inherent desire to sustain a healthy lifestyle and formulate a healthy physical and emotional relationship with yourself, with others and with the world.
Over the years I have observed that eating disorder patients often try to separate their bodies from others and their bodies from themselves. Touch brings your external self into direct communication with your internal thoughts and feelings and helps you to generate a more positive body image. As armoring dissolves, you will begin to understand your whole-being connection and you’re self awareness increases, thereby developing a more realistic perception of your authentic self. Given time, a more self-caring body image emerges. In loving your body, you grow to love yourself.
Research has shown that Massage Therapy directly affects the measurements involving eating disorders both physically and psychologically. It reduces stress, anxiety, depression, and body dissatisfaction. In addition, it can be concluded that massage provides loving touch to a population suffering from the loss of touch, either early in life or during the course of their disorder.
Recovery from an eating disorder is a process of learning and practicing inhabiting your body. For many people with E.D., it is the first time. In your massage therapy session we will focus our energy on developing a healthy relationship to self by utilizing the healing power of touch thru massage therapy.
Massage therapy is instrumental in providing "nurturing, restorative, educated, and nonjudgmental" touch. This gives you every opportunity for a full recovery and a life full of celebration. |
