Restrictions and Eating Disorder Behaviors
I think restriction and eating disorder behaviors also become symbolic to kind of play out these like complex psychological things where maybe we don't really have words for it. And so if you have been through like a sexual trauma and then you're kind of like restricting,you know, it can have this like symbolism of like, I'm rejecting my body's needs. You'll see that a lot with people who turn to like strength training and then they start to say things like, exercise is my therapy. As a fitness professional and a trained counselor, exercise is not a therapy. No, no.
