Eating Disorders and the Holidays: Setting Yourself Up for Success
The holiday season can be an especially challenging time for individuals with eating disorders, as well as for their friends, family members, and loved ones.
To understand how “Permacrisis” can affect mental health, HuffPost reached out to our therapist, Courtney Strull for some expert advice.
Permacrisis has been dubbed the word of the year, which means “an extended period of instability and insecurity."

"You may find yourself 'quiet quitting,' which translates to stepping away from work responsibilities and seeking ‘quality of life pursuits."
