In this week's episode, we discuss how we came to acknowledge an eating disorder as 'an abusive partner' that convinces the sufferer, and their loved ones, that they are useless, contemptible and unworthy of respect or compassion.  Insight into how an ED manifests in this way brought huge succor in how to change our approach, and help Harry to challenge the self-doubt generated by the internal voice of an eating disorder.
