That means a lot dear. It definitely is an issue, any kind of eating disorder behaviour is a bad thing. It doesn’t matter if you just do it every once and a while, it is not something you should ever want to do, or actually do. 

Please please get help. You deserve better than this. Please talk to a parent, or a friend, or someone in your life. Reach out and start to make a change. Please.

Why Wilderness?

The first time I took Mirasol clients camping, there was widespread anxiety about the trip. One client in particular was worried about the tents, the sleeping bags, the wild animals, the bathroom situation … every question answered triggered another a new concern! She was very quiet on the ride to the camping site, and I wondered whether she would be able to relax and enjoy the experience. After we set up camp and began exploring the area, she found me collecting wood for the fire. I anticipated another round of questions, but instead she just grinned and said, “You know, it’s weird, but this is the most like myself that I’ve ever felt!” That incredibly gratifying experience has reoccurred many times, as clients

Wilderness: A Powerful Intervention in the Treatment of Complex Trauma

Wilderness therapy is proving to be a powerful intervention in the treatment of complex trauma. Several of the unique features of adventure therapy address the dis-regulation that occurs in the individual’s neurological process from varying degrees of attachment rupture. Wilderness can directly impact resiliency by providing clients with the opportunity to access a sense of safety in a novel way. Adventure therapy often inspires a high degree of perceived risk or threat, similar to the heightened awareness that accompanies complex trauma.
