i randomly came across your blog. i have dealt with depression, anxiety, self-harm, an eating disorder..and more..crap..for too many years.
i am only 23..
anyway..i find it strange..but kind of neat..that a therapist would actually have a blog.
my therapist..sometimes seems non-human to me. too professional..
take care.
Really love your blog! Hoping we can link share.

I was led to your blog because you referenced an entry in my blog on anorexia… wanted to thank you for the reference, and say that it looks like you have good things going on here!
Hi,
Congrats on your work.
I am going to post a link to your blog on my blog: The Eating Disorder Survivors Club -

Hi, Is there any way I can talk to you via e-mail?
Hi, I’ve struggled with self-harm and anorexia for over 2 years and I’m much too young. I’m going to post a link to your page on my blog. Here’s a link to my blog…

Kristina’s last blog post..Therapy Day and the slippery slope
looks like you have being going strong for a while with your blog, I just found it through google by searching for money.co.uk + John Chow….. not your typical keywords one would think to find this site, interesting
I have not visited your blog for so long! I think I first found you not long after I had started blogging.
Anyhow I have added you to my feed and entrecard fav’s so I don’t lose you again.

Hi Isabella,
Re: comment you left on my blog. You certainly didn’t come on too strong at all. You are totally right about elements of my self being recovery driven Lola! I know in my heart that this current Way of Living, is just existing. Its so bizarre to hold two conflicting opinions of equal strength at the same time. it makes it very clear as to why people imagine their eating disorder to be another character in it’s own right. it is so helpful to have comments like this to look back on. and remind myself that there is another way to live. Thanks so much for your time. I will certainly consider writing something for you in the future.
Good Thoughts
Lola

As a fellow therapist, I am delighted to come across your blog. I found you through my Alltop account. Thanks for adding so much value, and for modeling the way for me to ‘be’ online.
Hey! Just wandering around your site after finding you via Twitter. Just wondering – what is movement therapy? Sounds intriguing! Looking forward to finding out more.
Rachel’s last blog post..‘It’s not your fault’
hi rachel
movement therapy is a type of bodywork that aims at goals such as stress relief and dealing with trauma. in this modality, the body talks, rather than the head. indeed, the integration of left and right, head and heart, are very much at the core of movement therapy. the type of movement therapy i used to practice is called TRAGER. web site: http://www.trager.com/approach.html
Does it bear any relation to sensorimotor therapy then? (Which is what I’ve heard of in the UK anyway) – and is that different to ‘change therapy’?
Thanks for the link, I’ll check it out.

Great content. An excellent resource for those who are in need of support – very accessible and I like your friendly approach.
I am a therapist with a personal interest in body image issues, depression and spirituality – so I’m thrilled to have found your site.
I’ve included you in my blogroll.
Congratulations on the work you do.
Cheers,
Amyra
this is so cool!
I’ve been in recovery for anorexia for over a year. I’ve recently lost some weight again and I’m finding that I can hardly stay awake after I eat any “normal” amounts of food. I hate this. This didn’t really happen except in the beginning with refeeding. Is my body just so messed up that if I lose it will revert to this method of trying to retain calories?
I was wondering if you use any expressive arts in your work. I know there is a big expressive arts community in Vancouver.
debbie, yes, there is a big expressive arts community in vancouver. the answer to your question is a lukewarm “no”. lukewarm because i just finished writing a little poem about what i feel many clients experience. you might recognize it
am better when i don’t
brighter when you won’t
am lighter but i can’t
smarter but he shan’t
but – when – don’t
shan’t – won’t – can’t
can’t, can’t, can’t
wait
until
when better times –

end.
Isabella I Love your new website. Happy New Year and all the bes tin 2011!
I just found your site. You have some great content. It was interesting that I had never heard of movement therapy before. In your opinion, would that work well for a woman suffering from postpartum depression?
