A tweet from Angela Garcia inviting me to comment on her blog post came through this morning. She asked:Â @JoannaPoppink "What would u advice a girl who is struggling to over come an eating disorder? Let me know in the comments."
The quotes she included belowe her post go the point.
This is part one of the two part series of interviews Joanna gave to HealthyPlace.com about the experiences of adult women both seeking and working in psychotherapy specificallly designed for their eating disorder recovery needs.
Today my first opportunity to speak from my heart online in a video about the realities of eating disorder recovery therapy is available for free at HealthyPlaceTV.
You can find the video on this site by searching for "adult women."
Firsts are always a challenge. Dealing with the technology glitches and the patience called upon me when my scr screen read "stand by, technical difficulties" made glad for my own recovery work. I actually smiled to myself as I waited and wondered and repeated my intro. I thought of how, in the thick of my bulimia I could never have handled the situation.
Being in recovery and free not only of my eating disorder but also free of the need for it is such a pleasure. Instead of being anxious or frantic I felt even more confident and intent on giving adult women with eating disorders this information. I want them - you - to know what it's like to feel and be capable in this world under challenge.
This is part two of the two part series of interviews Joanna gave to HealthyPlace.com. Joanna describes challenges of eating disorder recovery for adult women including the experience of making that first call for help. She continues to describe how a woman rallies her strength and courage to move forward for healing and freedom.
