So many of my psychotherapy clients, people who have attended the ED
support group and social clubs, those who have attended consultations,
those who I have chatted to in focus groups and those I have met in many
other situations regarding eating disorders have told me how they have
been denied access to help and support because of weight, not looking a
certain way or not looking ill enough.
I have been in the field of eating disorders since 2001 when I was initially a researcher in psychology and, sadly, little has changed since then. Certain services still base access to help and support on the individual's weight. This can be dangerous: a ‘controllable’ range of behaviours can very easily turn into a serious illness with devastating consequences.
While Talking EDs is a private practice, I am proud to say we never ever discriminate access to services based on someone's weight or how ill they might or might not be.
