For a person with an Eating Disorder, aside from the food-centered mindset, what you weigh, and how you look have probably become more important than who you are. The Eating Disorder Recovery process explores all the facets of the notion of change with body changes being in the forefront. Reframing the way we perceive and approach our body is fundamental. Working on acceptance of your natural body shape and size, with food and weight taking a proper perspective in your life and learning how actual numbers can have little or no importance at all can be a difficult but not an impossible task.

Cloth shopping in itself can be quite an emotional and distressing experience for some, as it challenges body image issues in various ways. This is where the cloth shopping sessions come in as another exposure and response prevention. 

These sessions can be done virtually or in-person, and they are designed to help you navigate all challenges and triggers that may arise in the process such as: body dissatisfaction and body size concerns, comparison to others, judgement and negative body talk, etc. They provide a window for redefining your relationship with your body and how the mere experience of shopping cloths to dress your body can actually become a fun and liberating one. They promote acceptance and explore resistance relative to natural weight, body and size, while also challenging societal standards.
