Shownotes
“I can really remember that the relationship with self was difficult. If I trace back to that growing, lovely young girl at 7/8/9 there was a little shift in body shape. I could see she wasn’t happy with herself….
I noticed a lot of self loathing creeping in. I used to really worry. I remember going into her room once and she was hitting her stomach.”
Emma didn’t notice her daughter had developed anorexia until they were about to board a plane for a family holiday.
Emma’s been on a steep learning curve ever since.
Her warm and compassionate take on recent events will help anyone in a similar situation.
There is always hope.
Emma wishes to remain anonymous.
