Read part of the transcript below: Greetings friends, this is Marc David, founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating. Today’s topic: how to help someone with an eating challenge even when you don’t know what to do – in five minutes or less. It’s important to take notice when someone you care about has a relationship with food that’s causing them pain. I’m going to give you some suggestions on how to be helpful to friends, family or loved ones who either have been diagnosed with an eating disorder, or who simply have a very problematic relationship with food – meaning they overeat, binge eat, constantly diet, emotionally eat, or they have a deep dislike for their body that has them eating or exercising in very intense or restrictive ways. Let’s make this simple: I’m going to break this down into 4 simple strategies that you can practice helping someone with an eating disorder- which by the way are applicable for friends and loved ones, as well as clients and even yourself. Strategy #1 – Love Oddly enough, love is oftentimes the last place we go when it comes to supporting others around their food and body issues. And it’s not because we’re such unloving people – it’s often because we love to fix others. It’s easy to see people with eating challenges as somehow deficient, broken, and in need of something logical or scientific that will take them right out of their problem and into the sunlight. As life would have it, though, if someone has an eating challenge, then by definition, I’m going to suggest that the nutrient they’re most deficient in is vitamin L: love. This is your number one strategy. Love first. Make sure the person in your life knows that even though they have an eating challenge that’s causing them pain and suffering, and is causing them to dislike their own self – that YOU still care. If someone has an eating issue, they don’t have to change for me to love and accept them any more than I already do right now. Of course I want them to get better, of course I want them to get where they want to go, but they already have my unconditional acceptance. I think we live in a time when love as a healing strategy is vastly underrated. For those with eating challenges, keep loving them even when they’re not loving themselves. Eventually, they’ll love you for it. Strategy #2 – Patience For many of us, it’s easy to get impatient with others when they have habits or challenges that we might think are silly or easily managed. How many times have I heard someone say to their friend or loved one who has an eating issue, “Just get over it”? This may sound well-intentioned, and it might sound like it makes sense, but it’s unsophisticated. If people could fix their unwanted eating habits that simply, they would. The psychology of human beings is dynamic, fascinating, sometimes simple, and sometimes complex. Have patience. Those with eating challenges of all kinds, on a deeper level, need to know that you’re going to be there. Patience is an awesome virtue. Make sure to let the people you care about know that you’re in this for the long haul.
