My Journey Toward Healing from Anorexia

Happy New Year! Deena’s story serves as an incredible inspiration to those struggling with addiction or eating disorders, and the friends and family who support them, to never give up hope.

In this episode, you’ll also hear: 

• Acknowledging unresolved family trauma 
• Details about Deena’s eating disorder and treatment journey 
• Struggling through the process of recovery  

Must-listen moments:  

[00:6:03] My family was great at coming together when there was a crisis, but not so much when it was just the day in, day out kind of day. 

[00:15:58] When you replace the why of why this is happening to me with what is this trying to teach me, everything kind of shifts. 

[00:20:16] It's a family disease. It's a silent killer. And my focus and what I would like to do in my lifetime is to bring awareness to the world that there are eating disorders out there and there are people that are really suffering and families that are suffering.
