Eating Disorders: 4 Things not to say to a recovering anorexic

Many people worry about the right and wrong things to say to someone who is recovering from anorexia (or another eating disorder).  In this video, I explore four things to avoid saying, I explain why and explore more helpful approaches.  

These 4 things not to say are drawn from both my personal and professional experience - but they won't apply to everyone so if you have a friend, partner, colleague, pupil etc in mind, the very best thing you can do is have an open and honest conversation with them about what they find helpful - or show them this video and use it as a starting point for discussion...
