Episode 33: JL Keez – Part 4 of 4 – JL is a Certified Reality Therapy Counsellor and Director of JL Keez Anorexia Unlocked - an online eating disorder support program. JL is also a survivor of a 9-year experience with Anorexia Nervosa and has also recovered from far too many years enduring migraines, depersonalisation, chronic fatigue, OCD, and suicidal depression.

In part one of this four-part series, JL shared threads of her life detailing emerging patterns that she now recognizes as indicators of a little girl not developing in a healthy manner.

In part two, JL continued her story and also referred back to some of the events and memories outlined in episode 1 for relevance in describing the unfolding of her story and her healing journey.

In part three, JL explained more about Reality Therapy, underpinned by Choice Theory, which is the modality used by JL that eventually led to her healing from the eating disorder, OCD, chronic fatigue, and suicidal depression.

And, in today’s final episode, JL will highlight and share some of the pearls of wisdom that she has uncovered through her healing journey in order to potentially help anyone who may be listening to this podcast, who is still in the midst of their own healing journey, and who is looking for answers.

JL is also the author of a recently-released book called, "Anorexia Unlocked: Understanding Your Story Through Mine" which can be found online, here, on JL's website.

You can also find more about JL and her offerings on her website at www.jlkeez.com.au or on Instagram @JLKeezAnorexiaUnlocked.
