As part of Eating Disorders Awareness Week, I have invited a client to share her story with you. Lauren’s eating disorder consumed her for five years prior to her seeking treatment in her early 20’s. Her story is unique as she truly knew she could overcome her eating disorder – she strongly believed she deserved recovery. Lauren’s message is this: “You’re never not enough to deserve treatment.” Your clients deserve help regardless of their situation, how ill they may be, how they look, how they present. They are always deserving of treatment. Please listen to her story. To learn more visit robynkievit.com.
