Ask good probing questions and talk in terms...

  • What should an individual avoid when talking to someone dealing with an eating disorder?

    1. Most people who suffer from an eating disorder know that it is not healthy and is morally wrong. Avoid reinforcing this point.

  • What should a person do if they are struggling with an eating disorder?

    Talk to someone about their situation. Talking about it will probably ease their tension and anxiety about the struggles that they are having.

  • 20. Recovery Part Two: The Basics

    Last week, we talked about what to do when you or someone you know makes the commitment to break the chains of an addiction. When I say addiction, I’m talking more than just drugs and alcohol. I’m talking about any addiction, that activity in our life that owns us, that we go back to time...
