February 23- March 1 is National Eating Disorders Awareness Week⁠
⁠
Did you know that an estimated 15% of the world's population lives with some form of disability? Yet, our cultural "ideals" for beauty and fitness often completely exclude disabled bodies.

Here are 3 things we need to understand about disability and body image:

🌸 Representation Matters: Over 60% of people with disabilities (PWD) report that narrow media portrayals negatively impact their self-esteem. When we don't see ourselves reflected in "beauty," we internalize the idea that our bodies are something to be "fixed" rather than celebrated.

🌸 Functionality vs. Aesthetics: A powerful shift in the disability community is moving toward body functionality appreciation—focusing on what the body can do (its strength, resilience, and unique ways of moving) rather than how it compares to an able-bodied standard.

🌸 Invisible Barriers: Body image isn't just about what is visible. Research shows that individuals with invisible disabilities (like chronic illness or psychiatric conditions) often report higher levels of negative body image due to the added weight of social stigma and the pressure to "pass" as able-bodied.

February 23- March 1 is National Eating Disorders Awareness Week⁠
⁠
Body image and gender identity are not simply skin deep, they intersect and impact our mental health.

For many people, our relationship with our bodies is impacted by cultural expectations, social stigma, and our ability to access what our bodies need. For transgender, non-binary, and gender expansive people, this can lead to gender dysphoria. Often a pressure to conform, fit the binary gender expectation, and social rejection can lead to internalized shame and a disconnect in our relationship to our physical form.

Research shows that body dissatisfaction and a lack of gender affirmation is associated with increased anxiety, depression, self-harm risks, and social withdrawal. With the help of supportive communities, communities that are affirming and use inclusive language, individuals are able to improve their mental health. After all, being seen and respected is protective.

In order to be supportive to ourselves and others, try the following:

💕 Use affirming language
💕 Avoid making assumptions about how bodies or appearance related to someone’s gender identity
💕 Understand that dysphoria may look differently for everyone and can fluctuate
💕 Recognize how social and systemic stigma impacts self perception
💕 Create environments that are affirming and allow people to express themselves with authenticity

Everyone deserves to feel at home in their body and affirmed in their identity! The way that we support mental health care should reflect that truth, always.

February 23- March 1 is National Eating Disorders Awareness Week

LGBTQ+ individuals experience eating disorders at significantly higher rates than their straight and cisgender peers — and yet they're among the least likely to seek or receive care that actually fits their lives.
The truth is, navigating identity, facing discrimination, feeling pressure to look a certain way within or outside LGBTQ+ communities — all of it can quietly shape the relationship someone has with food and their body. It doesn't look the same for everyone, and there's no single story that captures it.

🌈 Body image pressure doesn't disappear within LGBTQ+ spaces. Gay, bisexual, and q***r men, nonbinary folks, and trans individuals all face unique and often overlooked struggles.

🌈 Fear of not being understood or of facing judgment is one of the biggest barriers to reaching out. You deserve a space where you don't have to explain or justify who you are.

🌈 Healing looks different for everyone, and your path to recovery should reflect your whole, authentic self.

If you or someone you know has been struggling with food, body image, or disordered eating, the Al Carlozzi Center for Counseling offers affirming, identity-conscious support for all.

February 23- March 1 is National Eating Disorders Awareness Week

National Eating Disorders Awareness Week (NEDAW) is a national campaign to raise awareness about eating disorders, challenge stigma, and provide hope and support to all those impacted.

This year's theme is Every BODY Belongs. Eating disorders affect 30 million Americans across all ages, sizes, races, genders, and backgrounds. Too often, people go unseen or unsupported due to stigma, misinformation, and barriers to care.

Eating disorders don't have one face, one body, or one story. Yet for too long, the conversation has left so many people out — particularly people of color, who experience eating disorders at similar or even higher rates than their peers, but are far less likely to receive a diagnosis or get connected to care.

Your relationship with food is shaped by so much more than what's on your plate — it's woven into your culture, your family, your lived experiences, and the world around you. Healing should honor all of that, not ask you to leave any part of yourself behind.

A few things worth remembering:
✨ Eating disorders affect people of every race, background, and body type. There is no "look."
✨ Cultural foods and traditions carry deep meaning — recovery should never mean erasing your identity.
✨ Barriers like stigma, lack of representation, and fear of being misunderstood are real — and valid. You are not alone in feeling them.
✨ Approaching others with curiosity and cultural humility can change everything.

If you or someone you know has been struggling with food, body image, or disordered eating, the Al Carlozzi Center for Counseling is committed to providing inclusive, culturally responsive care for every person who walks through our doors. Your story matters here.

📞 Ready to take that first step? Call us at 918-594-8568. We'd be honored to support you.

What is love?

As the world celebrates love this week, many of us find ourselves wondering how to define and identify love. We are inundated with images of love and romance in movies, television, and social media, but often those images are unrealistic, unhealthy, and steeped in ideas of “normal” that do not apply to most of us. So, what is love, actually?

Love Encourages Independence

While we may sometimes feel pressure to always be with our partner(s), truly healthy relationships encourage and promote independence and autonomy. It can feel tempting to lose yourself in a relationship, especially when it is new and exciting, but maintaining a strong sense of self is crucial to maintaining a strong relationship. In fact, partners who are content with their individual lives report higher levels of relationship satisfaction. If you find yourself feeling lost in your relationship, consider identifying a personal area of interest or fun, and communicating with your partner about how to prioritize time to engage in that activity. You’re worth it.

If you would like to learn more about yourself or your relationship, therapy can be a great place to do so. The Al Carlozzi Center for Counseling provides low-cost individual, couples, and group therapy to individuals in Tulsa and surrounding communities. Call 918-594-8568 or visit https://tulsa.okstate.edu/counselingcenter for more information about scheduling an appointment.

Love Respects Boundaries⁠
⁠
Boundaries are healthy in relationships; each person in the relationship needs to be able to trust that their partner will respect those boundaries. Constant boundary violations, particularly without acknowledgment or apology, is a sign of a lack of respect and safety in the relationship. ⁠
