Using theatre and performance workshops to tear the wall down between ED clients and practitioners. #ABITEsizedConversation | ICED 2020 Expert By Experience
Fascinating conversations surrounding the food industry, intuative eating and food security at today’s #ICED2020 Wildcard Plenary. The food industry has such a huge part to play in public health and work needs to be done to tackle the mass of debilitating messages it promotes!
How do we educate teachers about neutral food language in early years? Great discussions and activity as part of the Translating Research into Public Health Policy and Practice. Consideration of ethnicity, economic background and gender needs to play a part in the design of this
Big steps need 2 be taken 2 ensure that BIPOC & LGBTQI people are included in ED truma studies. Currently they’re not inclusive & cannot represent a full picture or measure of truma. Scout from @TFFED thank you for ensuring that social justice is reflected in research. #ICED2020
Do we need to be considering the very experience of having an ED as truma? What would treatment of ED truma look like? Is there already research into this? How would this differ to the treating of the ED itself? Our body as the reminder of our ED truma? #ICED2020
Inspired by the Biology Plenery this afternoon. Laura Hill’s discussiont wrap up was wonderful. I had never considered looking at temperament as part of a diagnostic process for both client and practioner - so obvious that this needs considering!

Great discussions in #ICED2020 virtual networking about recovery through the lens of the patient damaging effects of specific language choices. Recovery = reclaiming identity and being treated as a body not a diagnostic term. We need to be looked at people of strength 🙌🏻
A wonderful start to #ICED2020. Janet Treasure’s keynote was wonderful. Her focus on loss of identity in relation to having an AN was incredibly thought provoking and absolutely true! We do lose ourselves to our EDs and this needs to be recognised and reflected in treatment 🙌🏻
It was a delight to perform #ABITEsizedConversation yesterday for members of the Clinical Psychology department @UniofExeter. A rich and fruitful conversation was had - made all the more better by a good boogie! Thank you for watching and joining the fight with me.
