When caring for a loved one with an eating disorder, you will find yourself experiencing a whole host of thoughts, feelings and emotions: 

• Feelings of loneliness 

• Not knowing what to do 

• Where to turn 

• No one understands me

• Who helps me 

• Understanding blame, Is it my fault  

• Understanding anger 

Caring and the aftermath

Once your loved one is on their recovery journey, carers often find they are still stuck, often feeling more eating disordered than they are now, sound familiar ?

How to we learn to step back and how do we move forward? 

Where do you express your fear, anger, guilt and loss you have experienced on this journey. Support sessions focused around moving on are just as valuable and important to give you reflection and closure. 

I am able to guide and support you with specialist carer skills, helping you to manage these difficult thoughts, feelings and how to manage difficult situations.
