Anorexic, traumatized & only 11: Luisa: “I remember being dragged to the restraint chair!”

Sensitive Content Warning: discussion contains anorexic behaviors, self-harm and medical restraints.
Restraint chairs, sedatives, forced feeds, isolation from family, misdiagnoses and COVID make for a super daunting recovery ride - but Luisa rides the wave like a boss into her current recovery!
Luisa offers 3 takeaways:

1-     Misdiagnosing Anorexia and ARFID
2-     Medical Trauma in ED recovery
3-     Impact of being young in treatment

"You wouldn't have recognized me: I was a completely different person!"
Luisa is now 17, telling us about her mental health and eating disorder recovery journey that started at 7. She was identified and treated for ARFID at 11 when panic attacks started, but that only told half her story. Eventually, she was diagnosed with Anorexia, and proceeded to be bounced between treatment centers, medical floors and psychiatric wards for the next 3 years. Learning to label and forgive the traumas, learning to trust her resilience and voice and learning how to find better ways to serve young people in the mental health community are just a few of the gifts she shares!
