Judy Lightstone, Registered Psychologist
Eating and body image problems can express our deepest expieriences as women. Our issues of staying true to our genuine hunger/s, defining ourselves in and not in relationship to others, and taking up space in a sometimes dangerous world may show up in our relationships to food and body. I have been helping women work through these issues since 1984, when I received my post-graduate training at the Women's Therapy Centre Institute (founded by Susie Orbach). Since 1986 I have trained and provided consultation for many therapists who wanted to learn this orientation. My approach to the work is interactive and compassionate, using strength and an easy sense of humor.In focusing on your eating disorder, you may choose to include journal, art, or movement work, and guided fantasies to help you express what the eating problem has been trying to say. Ultimately, you will learn to eat when you are hungry and stop when you are full. But in the meantime, when you cannot always do this, we will use the symptoms to point us to the triggers and issues in your life that you have been using the bingeing, starving, and/or purging to solve. We work these through one by one, until you feel stronger to face these difficulties without depriving or punishing yourself with food.
