Building Bridges

My story is how I managed with my daughter who decided to use food to control her life at the age of 14. I was “frozen” as I watched her become a shell of herself and the hardest part for me was trying to ask questions as I knew that her eating challenges were psychological issues and I was in a dilemma about focusing on both the psychological and physical side of the issue.

It was only when I took my daughter to a comprehensive health practitioner, that she understood the physical damage after viewing on a screen what the lack of nutrition was doing to her body. With consistency , my daughter took all vitamins and advice to improve her physical health.

My daughter improved physically and had she also had the supportive care of a psychologist at that time, I believe she may have been able to understand the “why?” of what she was doing to her wellbeing.
