34. How to talk to friends and family about your eating disorder or difficulties with food

Intuitive Eating & Body Positivity with Terri Pugh

Talking to friends or family about your eating disorder or difficulties with food can be really scary. How will you find the words, who will you tell, when will you find the time? You get yourself upset and anxious about it, and then it doesn't happen. But talking to someone about your eating disorder can provide such relief, not to mention support going forward. Let me help you with some tips on how to have that conversation.
