This week on Wellbeing we are talking with Katherine Schultz, a photographer based in Adelaide, Australia, she shares her experiences in having a sister going through anorexia. Katherine’s perspective as a sibling of someone who has anorexia is a rarely heard from perspective.

In this episode Katherine talks about when she noticed anorexia was becoming a problem for her sister, how her sister's anorexia impacted their relationship, how it impacted the family's daily life, what brings on eating disorders, how it felt seeing her sister loose who she was to anorexia, the supports available to siblings and family members of those going though anorexia, the mental strategies Kathrine has to manage as a result if her sister's anorexia, the toll her sister's anorexia has on her, and her general advice to family members of those with anorexia.

"The deeper she fell into it, the harder it was to sort of have conversations with her about it and she kind of lost like a spark, and I think many people talk about that like you sort of lose sight of the person you know them to be as this disorder takes over." - Katherine Schultz on this episode of Wellbeing 

Tune in next week when we talk with activist in the fashion industry against anorexia, Adi Barkan.
