Laura Casey is the Director of Services at the Lois Treatment Centre for Eating Disorders in Dublin.

Laura says: “For the person to realise WHY… always helps their recovery because although they can’t change what happened, they can know why this happened. And then what their triggers are, which gets them to a point where they’re more resilient because they’ve done the work.”

Laura is passionate about a multi pronged approach for eating disorder recovery.

In this episode, we talk about the healthcare system, accessing treatment and how the lack of resources impedes a successful recovery.  

And so much more!

I loved my chat with Laura. She's a ray of sunshine.
