Wouldn't it be great to finally free yourself from the constant vicious cycle of the diet mentality and lead a happy and fulfilling life? Health at Every Size Therapy (HAES) offers you the opportunity to achieve a sense of peace and acceptance of yourself that is not connected to your weight or the shape of your body. Health at Every Size Therapy focuses on identifying the underlying issues that may be manifesting themselves as negative body image and self-shame.
What is the Diet Mentality?
The diet mentality is the idea that in order to be happy, you must conform to unrealistic beautify standards, and it is frequently an overarching strategy of coping with life. Whether this coping mechanism is conscious or unconscious, it can rob you of joy. Constantly viewing life through the lens of past events and comparing weight with self-value, can be exhausting. An obsession with meals at every turn accompanied by self-denigration is counterproductive and exceedingly destructive. Health at Every Size Therapy can help replace harmful behaviors with positive choices.
What is Health at Every Size (HAES) Therapy All About?
Health at Every Size Therapy reinforces the fact that everyone is valuable, beautiful, worthwhile, good, and deserves to be loved and healthy. In short, HAES Therapy draws the focus away from obsessive weight control and dieting towards self-care. Learning how to trust and respect your body and its intuitive intelligence ultimately drives behavioral changes that lead to meaningful, sustainable change.
The Core Principles of Health at Every Size Therapy
The core principles of the HAES methodology encompass:
Weight inclusivity that refrains from the judgment of the self and others
Respectful care that rejects weight discrimination in environments that promote embracing people despite their past or current beliefs and circumstances
Eating for wellbeing and in a way that supports individual circumstances and dietary needs
Life enhancement management that supports enjoyable physical activity that is accessible by everyone
