It was recommended as helpful for overcoming anorexia. It involved personifying the eating disorder and having conversations with it, as a way to recognize the negative thoughts as separate from oneself.
And one of the most helpful books I ever read for my anorexia was a book called Life Without Ed.
And it's where this woman personified her eating disorder and she talked to it and she would say she would have conversations with it and talk sense to it because you realize there's a dialogue in your mind.
And to her, that was not her. That was Ed. It was her eating disorder.
And so I started to do that. I started to see these horrible thoughts in my mind as they're not me. Anorexia is not who I am.
