During the perinatal period there are number of nutrition changes that may be required to ensure a healthy pregnancy and a speedy recovery during the postnatal period. Making nutrition changes to your diet can often mean changing the relationship you have with food. Creating changes to your relationship with food requires an understanding of the psychological drivers behind your food choices. Often these psychological drivers are overlooked when someone provides nutrition advice. A food psychologist can help to identify these factors and provide psychological tools and strategies to improve your relationship with food.
The perinatal period represents a time when the body rapidly changes in weight, size and shape in a very short amount of time. This can often lead to increased dissatisfaction with one’s body. A psychologist that specialises in body image can help you to improve your relationship with your body.
Mummas that have unhealthy relationships with food and their bodies often unknowingly role model these behaviours in front of their children. Developing healthy relationships with food and body image not only benefits the mother’s overall well-being but it can also benefit the child. Role modelling of healthy food and body image behaviours can positively impact on a child’s relationship with food and the way the child sees their own body.
