The Eating Disorder Recovery Podcast - En podkast av Tabitha Farrar
Kategorier:
This podcast continues to discuss Family-Based Therapy for eating disorders. In this podcast I talk to Amy Cunningham — mother of last week’s guest, Emma Cunningham. Last week we heard Emma’s story of family-based therapy from the perspective of a child who had recently been through the process. If you didn’t listen to last week’s episode you can do so here. Amy tells us about the process of putting a child through family-based therapy. From diagnosis to close to full recovery. In this podcast, we discuss: Genetics of eating disorders and how they run through families. Amy’s own experience with Anorexia and Bulimia. How Amy recognized her daughter’s eating disorder. Managing family-based therapy with school, work, and travel. Working with other family members to administer family-based therapy. Eating disorder advocacy and what needs to be done in order to make these illnesses better treated. Amy now works as an advocate for family-based therapy and other aspects of eating disorder treatment and understanding.
