No. What I offer, is a very valuable support/tool for parents. This is an valuable addition.
Yes, and I actually see my age as one of my strengths. Being young and having gone through similar experiences as their child allows me to better understand what they are feeling and what they may need. I can often relate closely to their fears, thoughts, and resistance in a very direct way. This helps me connect quickly, build trust, and support them in a way that feels safe and understood.
The key is to focus on connection over control! The strategies include: Listening actively and validating feelings by saying things like: ”I see how hard it is for you, we do need to eat this, but we can face this together, I’m here for you.” Setting clear boundaries, but calmly. Their head is in a constant ”fight-or-flight” mode. Things like raising your voice can feel extra heavy. Using the tools from the e-tool to guide your responses By approaching your child with empathy and structure, you can reduce tension while supporting positive change.
The guidance is immediately applicable. The e-tool focuses on practical, real-life strategies
Of course. I do have a general structure and plan for the sessions, but it is never leading or rigid. Each session is adapted to your child’s needs, pace, and what feels most helpful in that moment.
If you have any questions after using the e-tool, you can always follow up in personal sessions. These sessions allow us to explore your specific situation in more depth and provide guidance tailored to your needs.
Denial is very common. At this stage, it’s important to focus on listening, observing, and supporting without confrontation. You can: Show concern and focus on behaviors and feelings rather than labeling it. You can use phrases like: “How is eating going today? It seems to me that sometimes this is difficult for you, and I feel concerned about that.” Reflect their emotions back. Name what you observe without interpreting or labeling it: “It seems like this is causing you stress.” Use practical strategies from the e-tool and guidance sessions to respond calmly and constructively. The goal is to reduce conflict while maintaining support, rather than forcing recognition.
The focus is on supporting the child with it feeling like real support, rather than compliance. We work on strategies parents can use to respond constructively and maintain connection.
The e-tool provides practical guidance and strategies for supporting your child in the shortterm, but also longterm! You’ll learn how to understand your child’s thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and how to respond in ways that are supportive and effective. It’s designed to be interactive and easy to follow, so you can start applying the insights right away.
I guide the parents because I have seen how big of an role, parents have in recovery, and tehy are the ones with the least amount of guidance. Everyday I see a lot of mistakes when it comes to guiding the child.
