Same guys who want a girl who can “eat burgers and drink beers” as long as she’s also a size 2 🙄🙄🙄 they want you to fit the impossible beauty standard BUT don’t show that it takes time or effort to do so! #tiktoktherapist #bodyimageissues #antidietculture #edrecocery #edrec0very #bodyacceptance #beautystandardsarefake #feministiktok #haes #beautyculture
#stitch with @dearmedia While I strongly believe she is promoting a relationship with food that I would 🚫not🚫 recommend as an ED professional, I also don’t love how normalized it’s become for mental health professionals to comment so flippantly on the psychological health of celebrities & public figures they’ve never met or assessed. I think we can still speak out against what she’s promoting without compromising our ethics as clincians. What do yall think? Is nuance still a thing or has social media destroyed it? #mentalhealthtiktoks #tiktoktherapist #psychologistoftiktok #clinicalpsychologist #goop #antidietculture #dietculturerebel #mentalhealthtiktoker #intuitiveeater #haes #goldwaterrule #psychiatrist #wellnesstok #greenscreen
Can confirm, this does not go well. So why do we do it? Perhaps this is how a parent/caregiver communicated to you growing up, you were expected to guess & predict their moods. Or maybe you were taught it’s not ok to express needs so you’re trying to express WITHOUT explicitly saying them. Or maybe you learned conflict is bad & you should avoid it. But conflict is healthy, and if communicating directly leads to conflict that’s ok, you can resolve it & grow together. Do you have trouble being direct when someone upsets you?

Boys are 3x more likely than girls to get diagnosed with ADHD. Girls with ADHD are chronically overlooked and often don’t get a proper diagnosis until later in life or after schooling years, which is how I skated by on anxiety, obsession and luck until college with hidden symptoms. The inattentive subtype is often harder to spot because the person may not show as much impulsive behavior or come across hyperactive like the stereotypical picture of ADHD but it can have just as big of an impact on your life! Follow for mental health education from a psychologist who knows it firsthand. Once I finally knew I had ADHD it helped me understand SO much about the way I communicate, learn and process information. #adhdinwomen #adhdsquad #anxietyandadhd #ocdadhd #tiktoktherapist #therapistsontiktok #psychologistoftiktok #learnontiktoktogether #attentiondeficitdisorder #mentalhealthtiktoks #neurodiverse #anxiousgirl #anxietysquad
I used to think it was about discipline and self-control… but actually our bodies are really smart! They drive us to compensate when they don’t get what they need 😳😳 ##intuitiveeater ##tiktoktherapist ##foodfreedom ##foodfreedomjourney ##antidiet ##dietculturerebel ##edrecoverycoach ##haes ##psychologistsoftiktok ##therapistsoftiktok❤️ ##bingeedrecovery

Do you beat yourself up or criticize yourself for mistakes?! Join the club. Giving yourself kindness and grace isn’t something most of us learn how to do, yet it’s actually the best way to help ourselves grow and improve! #therapytok #tiktoktherapist #peoplepleaser #empathsoftiktok #selfcompassion #selfcompassionjourney #selflovebestlove #therapistsoftiktok❤️ #mentalhealthrecovery
Once you recognize that some parts of life are just gonna involve discomfort, you don’t have to base your choices on trying to AVOID discomfort. You can base choices on what’s best for your quality of life, relationships, or what makes you proudest of yourself! #acceptanceandcommitmenttherapy #acttherapy #tiktoktherapist #therapytiktoks #mindfulnesspractice #psychologistoftiktok #anxietysquad #mentalhealthrecovery #mindfulliving
