It’s so easy to get caught in rumination cycles, but intentionally focusing on the present moment, the here and now, goes such a long way. What I love the most about working with clients is when my clients notice their progression. Progress isn’t linear, and sometimes it can feel harder before it gets better, but when a client notices they aren’t where they were in the beginning anymore…chef’s kiss! Self care strategy I recommend for BFRB client’s is to truly stop, take time to acknowledge what you’re feeling, and ask yourself… “What do I want to do in this moment?” Self care doesn’t have to be textbook or black and white. Listen to your body, and try to align self care with the things you value.
