“Karen and Cookie...I have been stumbling over roadblocks for over a year trying to help my teenage daughter find a way to the end of her B.E.D. It has been an incredibly difficult, tumultuous journey that never seems to come even close to ending. I thought I knew everything there was to know about this
dis-ease after countless hours of research and attempts to find the right kind of “therapist”-but I now know how wrong I’ve been and how much of a tight grip the world of therapy has on eating disorders. I feel as if my efforts to educate myself have been lost efforts because nothing seems to help no matter what the cost,both financially and emotionally. That is, until I discovered your podcast!! I have no words for the level of gratitude I have for your precise and clear way and educating and directing people towards recovery. I’m only just starting to listen to your episodes and already feel a sense of relief and hope that I have not experienced yet on this journey. My daughter has always claimed that it is something wrong with her brain and that is why it’s happening, because she says she really truly does not feel like she has control over her choices when it comes to binging... like something inside her brain is controlling her. Finding something that explains what’s happening in the brain in relationship to this disorder is absolutely the perfect tool for her recovery! Funny thing, I was about to enroll my daughter into an eating disorder clinic when I found your Podcast and now I am second-guessing that choice, as I am sure they will just try to find and over analyze what it is about her past that she’s trying to “cope with” through BED. I wish I had discovered you sooner as I know you just began a course. (I’m going to check out your website to see when the next course begins). There are no words that could possibly level up to the amount of gratitude I have for your wisdom and your willingness to share it. I am beyond grateful, as is my daughter. It’s as if we have been covered in a cloak of darkness and despair and your words and wisdom have lifted it off of us and we can see the light🌟
Thank you so very much 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽”
