Document Summary
Week 13: helping a friend with an eating disorder. Have a respectful meeting with my friend and communicate my concerns openly and honestly in a caring, supportive way. Bring up maybe seeing/talking with a counselor or professional who is knowledgeable about eating disorders. Avoid conflicts with your friend and avoid placing shame, blame or guilt regarding their actions or attitudes. Psychotherapy- this is a common method for treating eating disorders with 3 phases. During the first phase, patients learn about the damage that results from eating disorders. The second phase focuses on regular eating habits, and the final phase concentrates on strategies to avoid a relapse. I would continue to support my friend and be there for them. Know that she is sensitive to stuff and be a good listener when she wants to talk.
