Once you get into phases two, three, and beyond in FBT,
whether you are a parent or someone with an eating disorder, you may start to
see the ways in which the eating disorder acted like a band aid. It covered a wound that may still need to be
healed. Once weight is restored and
cognitive function begins to resume, it is possible to address and heal
the underlying issues that may have contributed to the eating disorder. Make sure you do this. Stay steady with the food and healing can
take place.
