Bringing self-compassion into eating disorder recovery
Some of the most common feelings brought on by eating disorders are those of guilt and shame. If you have an eating disorder, this may be caused by self-critical thoughts about your appearance, eating habits, food choices, self-identity or about the impact the eating disorder has on your loved ones and life in general. If you are a parent or carer or friend, it may be about feelings of guilt and failure when trying to help your loved one to recover.
