Men need treatment for eating disorders, too.
For years eating disorder treatment has been focused on women and teens.
This has resulted in men being under-diagnosed and under-treated.
And, it has increased a sense of shame for men who have had experiences with, or who are experiencing, disordered eating and body shame.
We want you to know that there’s nothing to be ashamed of.
Your struggle and your pain is valid.
And, you deserve support.
Eating Disorder Treatment for Men
Approximately 1 in 4 people who are diagnosed with an eating disorder identify as male.
Yet, only 1 in 10 men who are suffering will seek treatment.
So many men are suffering in silence.
If you’re here, you know how consuming thoughts and behaviors around food and body can be.
The quest for leanness. The desire for muscularity. The grind to prove masculinity. The sense of failure after chasing and grasping for these things for so long.
Looping thoughts and consuming cycles of behaviors.
So much so that you’re missing out on your life.
We want you to know that we respect how hard it is for you to be here…
To be searching the internet for eating disorder treatment in Pennsylvania.
And, we also know that continuing to suffer, continuing to allow your eating disorder to consume your thoughts and dictate your behaviors is even harder.
You deserve to reclaim your self-worth from the way your body appears to the world. To understand what masculinity means, or doesn’t mean, to you- outside of the cultural narrative. To heal from T(t)rauma’s that have disconnected you from yourself and your inherent value as a human in this world.
You deserve to know what it’s like to deeply feel.
You deserve To be seen- Without shame. Without judgement.
