EDAW 2017 Adults with Eating Disorders: Loneliness

In this special podcast for Eating Disorder Awareness week, I share some stories and experiences from adults in recovery from eating disorders. Today the focus is entrenched behaviours and overcoming the identity crisis that so many people in recovery from long term eating disorders have to deal with. Adults in recovery from eating disorders face different challenges than children and teenagers do. The idea behind AEDRA — Active Eating Disorder Recovery for Adults is that we focus on adults and the specific problems that an adult in recovery will face. Today I read your comments and thoughts on loneliness. Anorexia and other eating disorders are incredibly isolating. But recovery brings hope. New relationships will form and old ones will heal.
