🌿 January is Mental Wellness Month, we would like to use this as a time to reflect on how our mental wellness is impacted by diet culture. At Aster Springs, we see firsthand how diet culture can disconnect individuals from their internal cues, fueling mental challenges and eating disorders. We help our clients rediscover intuitive eating, rebuild trust in their bodies, and move beyond calorie counting and food guilt. By teaching that all foods have value, we empower clients to embrace a well-balanced lifestyle that nourishes both body and mind.

🎄✨ The holidays can be a time of joy and connection, but for those battling an eating disorder, it may feel overwhelming and isolating.

Amber Lucchino, LCSW, LADAC, Executive Director at Aster Springs Nashville, shares her perspective:

"Living with an eating disorder is the opposite of having peace. Instead of embracing relationships, you pull away and isolate. Your mind is focused on calorie counting, engaging in behaviors to compensate for what you ate, and comparing your body to others. You are stuck in a cycle of shame and guilt and promise that you will stop 'after 5 more pounds.' You aren’t doing the things that used to bring you joy. You hardly have energy for anything anymore. You lose hope that anything will change. I love sharing with our clients my lived experience that hope is possible and they don’t have to keep living like this. At Aster Springs, we are ready to help you rediscover peace."

You don’t have to face this alone. Recovery is possible, and we’re here to help you find hope and healing. 💜

Exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy is a way to help people feel less afraid of things that make them anxious. In ERP, a person faces their fear in a safe place, over and over again, to help them feel less anxious about it over time. ERP has two main parts that happen together: ➡️ Exposure: The person is slowly introduced to what they fear. ➡️ Response Prevention: They are encouraged not to react in their usual way, helping them learn that they can handle the fear without doing certain actions.

July ED Connections with our Clinical Team and Staff
July ED Connections with our Clinical Team and Staff

Today we are thrilled to have time with some of our Clinical Team and staff at Aster Springs, Eating Disorder Residential Program and PHP. This facility also has housing and opened early in 2022 in the Richmond, VA area. We spoke with Executive Director, Melanie Vann, Lead Therapist, Megan White, and onsite Chef, Joe Wilson, in-depth about that program and all of its offerings.

Today on ED Connections we are joined by Kayla and Tayler, who provide life-changing and life-saving support to those who call in looking for treatment. Kayla serves as our Assistant Director of Eating Disorder Admissions, and Tayler as Admissions Coordinator for Odyssey's Eating Disorder Network. Uniquely, our team of admissions staff serves all 5 of our residential programs and has the unique ability to message clearly the offerings at each program, pivoting from one program to another when necessary based on client needs or availability. For more information, or if you or someone you know is suffering from an #eatingdisorder, please contact us today at 866.92.FREED. We are here to help!
