It Takes a Village

Health at Every SizeEating DisordersRemindersRecovery
Written By Anna Sweeney

Eating disorders are biopsychosocial conditions. They’re not caused by one thing, can’t be treated by a sole practitioner in isolation, and need to be fully understood with consideration of the context in which they exist.

The expression “IT TAKES A VILLAGE,” couldn’t be any more appropriate. Recovery is hard. Recovery without thoughtful understanding of every angle of the condition is nearly unfair.

If you’re struggling, I hope you have access to a doctor, a therapist, a psychiatrist, a dietitian and whoever else makes up your village.

If you’re a practitioner, collaborate, collaborate, collaborate. Seek supervision. This is good for you and imperative for thoughtful understanding of your client.
