[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 1885140, member: 345386"] To be honest, Goonergal, I felt the presentation and even moreso the interactive elements of it, to be so supportive of those who have felt all or some of those experiences/emotions at some stage in their lives, even if not now. As someone who spent a long time in treatment for an ED in my late 20s, I so identified with the secretive, shame, unworthy aspects of it all, and to be honest, to think that a decent population of "healthy" people had or have those feelings was a massive comfort, but also a massive blow. It's easy to say "Why don't people talk about these things?", but of course that's because they are feeling exactly the same emotions we were, but perhaps are better equipped, for whatever reason, to deal with those thoughts at the time, and maybe didn't get onto the revolving door of food issues (or found a gap to jump out before they were lost in it). I really so hope that that presentation can help just one person understand why they might feel those feelings and more importantly to understand that others have them too - just not everyone, and perhaps to differing degrees.
