Eating disorders and Disordered Eating
Eating distress, disordered eating, eating disorders? You might be wondering what it all means. What's the difference?
I've worked for eating disorder charities for many years and I'm a qualified counsellor working with people with all sorts of eating and body image problems. I run workshops and trainings on disordered eating, weight stigma and body image. It's a complex and nuanced field, so here is - from my perspective - what all these terms mean.
My views are my own and not that of my employers or placement providers. I recognise that my perspective is one that, like everyone, comes with biases and ways of seeing the world is influenced by my own personal experiences, along with various privileges.
