Eating Disorder Recovery at
Eternal Renewal Counseling
Healing your relationship with food, movement, and yourself.
At Eternal Renewal Counseling, we specialize in supporting clients who are navigating complex, modern forms of eating and body-image distress—especially those who feel “not sick enough,” “too functional,” or misunderstood by traditional ED frameworks. Whether you’re recovering from orthorexia, coping with stress through food, or transitioning out of bodybuilding, weight-class sports, or aesthetic-driven training, our recovery program meets you where you are with compassionate, evidence-informed care.
Who This Program Is For
1. Orthorexia & Wellness-Culture Burnout
If you’re caught in the cycle of “clean eating,” food rules, purity standards, or fear of certain ingredients, you may feel constantly anxious or guilty around food. We help you rebuild a flexible, joyful, and human relationship with eating—without stripping away your desire to live healthfully.
2. Emotional Eating & Food-as-Comfort Patterns
Food becomes a coping mechanism when life feels overwhelming.
This program helps you understand your emotional patterns while building new strategies for regulation, self-soothing, and resilience without shame.
3. Former Bodybuilders, Athletes & Gym-Reliant Identities
If you’ve stepped away from the stage—or from high-intensity gym culture—and now feel lost or compulsive with training, macros, weigh-ins, or body checking, you’re not alone.
We help you reconnect with your body without extremes, rigidity, or pressure to “perform.”
An Integrative Recovery Approach
Healing disordered eating isn’t just about food. It’s about your nervous system, your thought patterns, your lived experiences, and your identity.
Our program integrates:
EMDR Therapy for Food + Body Triggers
EMDR supports recovery by targeting the deeper roots:
-
Childhood comments about weight
-
Athletic environments that encouraged restriction or overtraining
-
Experiences of control, fear, or reward connected to eating
-
Shame-based memories that still affect body image and self-worth
EMDR helps reduce the intensity of these triggers so your body and mind can finally stop fighting each other.
Behavioral Correction & Eating Disorder-Informed Coaching
Kristen Yehiel, CPSC, CPT brings specialized experience in:
-
Behavioral restructuring for compulsive food patterns
-
Reducing ritualized eating and exercise routines
-
Reframing all-or-nothing thinking
-
Identifying environmental and emotional triggers
-
Supporting clients transitioning off rigid diet structures or competitive training schedules
This work is practical, gentle, and rooted in long-term habit change.
Compassionate Nutrition Support
You will receive:
-
A flexible, non-diet approach to nourishment
-
Support moving away from macros, calorie rigidity, and “good vs. bad food” beliefs
-
Education on metabolic recovery, energy availability, and nervous system-supportive foods
-
Guidance for building consistent meals without overwhelm
This is not weight-loss nutrition—this is recovery nutrition.
What Makes ERC Different
We treat the whole person.
Your mental health, physical patterns, and emotional history are all interconnected—and the treatment reflects that.
We understand nontraditional eating disorders.
Orthorexia and fitness-induced disordered eating often go overlooked. Here, they are taken seriously and treated with expertise.
We honor your autonomy.
There is no forced meal plan. No shame. No pressure.
Just collaborative, skill-building support.
We integrate mind, body, and behavior.
Talk therapy alone cannot untangle eating disorders.
Our approach blends EMDR, somatic work, nutritional support, and behavioral change.
