Description
Ed Says U Said: A Guide to Understanding Eating Disorders Eating disorders can have a profound impact on communication, causing problems that can have serious consequences. A simple comment from a parent or criticism from someone with an eating disorder can trigger a reaction, while a well-meaning remark might be misinterpreted as a criticism. This book aims to improve communication between those affected and their loved ones by decoding the language of eating disorders. Using real-life examples of everyday conversations, Ed Says U Said translates the complex language of anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder. The book unravels the emotional chaos that can surround sufferers and those who care for them, providing clear examples of common pitfalls and invaluable advice on how to help defuse triggers and regain a sense of personality. A unique resource for those affected by eating disorders, this book is essential reading for sufferers, carers, family and friends, as well as healthcare professionals treating individuals with eating disorders.
