The scarcity mindset in our profession is real. Some of the dynamics I see playing out include: Credential Climbing: The pressure to get every training, certification, and specialization—even when it’s financially inaccessible or not clinically necessary. Referral Hoarding: The belief that sharing clients with other providers is a sign of weakness rather than a way to provide the best care. Gatekeeping Knowledge: Some clinicians treat their expertise as a trade secret rather than a resource to be shared. Corporate Takeover: Larger treatment centers prioritizing profits over ethical care, leading to moral injury for those working within these systems. https://www.ediestark.com/blog/how-to-stop-glamorizing-eating-disorders-in-the-media monthly 0.5 2025-02-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/675776f935eb265ad8ec8df6/1739401798879-EYTYI4UKAIMJH8JSIWH3/eating+disorder+expert+%7C+consultant+%7C+92116+92123+92115 Blog - How to Stop Glamorizing Eating Disorders in the Media - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/675776f935eb265ad8ec8df6/16a7d518-6230-4654-a5e4-8a0c98b709a5/edie+stark+consulting++eating+disorder+expert.png Blog - How to Stop Glamorizing Eating Disorders in the Media - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.ediestark.com/blog/starting-a-group-therapy-practice monthly 0.5 2025-01-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/675776f935eb265ad8ec8df6/1738008476290-YFOH8JSZ5UHLW0T25RL3/should+I+start+a+group+therapy+practice%3F Blog - Should You Start a Group Practice? - Why Do You Want to Start a Group Practice?

Parent Coaching Reduces Parental Anxiety and Overwhelm It’s no secret that parenting a child with an eating disorder can take a toll on your mental and emotional well-being. It’s common to feel anxious, exhausted, and unsure if you’re doing the “right” thing. Parent coaching provides a space to focus on you—your emotions, concerns, and needs—as you navigate this challenging time. While coaching is not therapy and doesn’t address deeper emotional wounds, it normalizes your experience and provides support for the day-to-day struggles. A parent coach helps you identify what’s in your control, what isn’t, and how to manage your own stress and triggers as you show up for your child. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/675776f935eb265ad8ec8df6/1738010897545-B5E88EUKCTVQBTOKR887/parent+coaching+for+parents+of+those+with+eating+disorders Blog - 6 Ways Parent Coaching Can Help - 1.

As an eating disorder therapist who has worked with teens, families, and individuals for over a decade, I often witness how eating disorders fly under the radar—even in professional spaces—due to deeply ingrained societal biases and misconceptions. This is particularly true when clinicians overlook certain "non-stereotypical" presentations, especially in individuals in larger bodies, marginalized communities, or those with symptoms that deviate from the traditional DSM checklist. Eating disorders do not only impact thin, white, young women; they affect people of every size, age, gender, race, and socioeconomic background. https://www.ediestark.com/blog/eating-disorders-in-the-media monthly 0.5 2025-01-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/675776f935eb265ad8ec8df6/1738038676425-4XAF7XXRWTOR3I598N4J/queer%2C+disabled+people+with+eating+disorder Blog - How the Media Gets Eating Disorders Wrong - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/675776f935eb265ad8ec8df6/1738038337901-1ZB96B6MIL9S1RX8OWCB/unsplash-image-jJFz-eAZhao.jpg Blog - How the Media Gets Eating Disorders Wrong - As a fat-positive eating disorder therapist, I’ve spent over a decade years working with clients across the spectrum of eating disorders. In that time, one recurring frustration I’ve encountered is the way the media portrays these complex and devastating illnesses. From TV shows to news articles, the dominant narratives are not only inaccurate but also harmful, perpetuating stigma and misunderstanding for those who need compassion and care. The media’s oversimplified and biased depictions of eating disorders fail to capture their reality, leaving countless individuals unseen and unsupported. In this blog, I’ll explore some of the most pervasive ways the media gets eating disorders wrong and how these misconceptions impact individuals struggling with these illnesses. By challenging these myths, we can move toward a more accurate and inclusive understanding of eating disorders that honors the experiences of all those affected. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/675776f935eb265ad8ec8df6/3043c18b-e4b9-4435-aefb-58021826de6d/Edie+Stark+Consulting+%7C+Eating+Disorder+Expert.jpg Blog -
