Eating Disorders in Discussion, Wednesday's Child

A Mother’s Journey: Debbie Talks Eating Disorder Onset and Recovery With Sharon Johnson


Listen Later

In this episode, we come at the eating disorder discussion from the perspective of a mother.

Not just a mother – but a mother whose daughter is already an accomplished adult, but falls into anorexia and exercise compulsion.

Debbie and Sharon discuss how the eating disorder arrived into family life, how it manifested itself, and how challenging it was to find help.

Full disclosure – Sharon credits Wednesday’s Child with very much ‘being there’ when she felt like there were few people who would understand and hear her concerns.

Fortunately, the story of Sharon’s family is a really positive one, with Sharon’s daughter now doing really well, in a new career and a relationship….and forming a positive and healthy eating and exercise relationship.

We’re delighted to share that Sharon is among those who’ve recently decided to become parent carer befrienders for Wednesday’s Child, so do get in touch if this is of interest to you or you’d like to make contact with Sharon.
