*During this series, “Her” is referred to as Anorexia Nervosa. The eating disorder Ashlee developed at 14.
HIGH TRIGGER WARNING ON THIS PODCAST: EATING DISORDER RELATED CONTENT DISCUSSED!!
The moment Anorexia was unleashed.
From living with ‘the secret burden’ to witnessing Her come into full-force and meet the family. Tantrums. Trauma. Family therapy. A system that couldn’t save an innocent child. A family that couldn’t do it more. A hospital respite that turned into a three-month admission.
In this podcast episode of the “Her” series, we touch on where the story of a post-anorexia diagnosis takes a 14-year-old and her family.
How the medical system failed us. How the illness showed its true colours. How we got through. And how you could too.
Starting the conversation around Anorexia as a MENTAL HEALTH CONDITION, and the trauma that lies within the darkened hours of a child mental health ward.
This is “Living with Her”.
