Eating Disorder Recovery, What REALLY Helps and Finding Yourself with Ella Williams

Today I’m talking to Ella Williams who is a 27-year-old eating disorder survivor and Assistant Clinical Psychologist supporting young people who have experienced trauma and attachment difficulties. Ella has battled with anorexia, starvation and bulimia for 12 years but thankfully, she is now well along the recovery path. After becoming extremely ill at dance college, Ella bravely took a new path and dropped out of Dance and began studying Psychology in Sheffield. In the podcast episode today, Ella talks about her healing journey and the ups and downs along this road. She talks about the key factors that have helped her in recovery and reflects on how much her eating disorder has taught her about herself, her need to conform and fit in and be accepted by society. She says that she realises that it was never about food but ran much deeper. Ella also shares about family support that has been particularly beneficial in her healing. I know that you’re going to find this conversation really insightful, and it will inspire hope for the possibility of change and eating disorder recovery.
