Understanding Your Child and Her Eating Disorder
I tell parents that the unrelenting, pervasive and constant eating disorder thoughts in their child’s head are similar to what they would experience if they were wearing headphones with loud rock music while I was talking to them. I would not expect them to be able to retain the information I was giving them with the all of that “noise in their heads.”
Similarly, the malnourished brain cannot make good decisions. When your child has an eating disorder her ability to remember all the loving things you do as parents goes right out the window each time she is confronted about her food intake.
Also, the level of fear, shame and guilt eating disorder patients experience is huge. I ask the family to think about times when they were fearful. I give the example of the time I was in a tall hotel in San Diego and woke up in the middle of the night with my bed moving. I couldn’t even keep my balance on the floor. I hit the stairwell with 500 other guests and you could almost feel the collective fear that the building would collapse and we would all be killed.
That is the level of fear that those who struggle with eating disorders live with on a daily basis around their food.
