It helped me to see my eating disorder from a different angle and gave me and my family new strategies to overcome it and to see it for what it really was. -- Sarah Sims, eating disorder survivor It is becoming clearer that the treatment ethos that is most helpful for recovery from an eating disorder is one that includes a collaborative approach to care.

How did we get to this point? is a question frequently asked. The sections and the practical ideas in the handbook address the complexity of the illness and enable parents/family members/ carers to gain a better understanding of what having an eating disorder feels like.It provides the platform for honest communication and trust to be built/rebuilt and nurtured. We all make mistakes, despite the best intentions, and there is no point anyone blaming themselves or regretting past decisions. That is wasted time and energy!Instead, the handbook provides the opportunity to reflect in a non-judgemental way and move forward together to challenge the eating disorder. -- Anonymous parent Author InformationNicola Davies is a health psychologist, counsellor, and writer specialising in raising awareness about health and well-being.
