Words Have Power: Can they lead to an eating disorder?
Words matter, and have the power to hurt. Even when we don’t realize it, words can cause someone to pause and pursue unrealistic expectations about their body. According to the National Eating Disorders Association, about 65% of people with eating disorders say that bullying contributed to their condition. Negative connotations about weight and body image can lead to low self-esteem, social isolation, poor body image, and has also been shown to directly contribute to the development of eating disorders.
Susanne Arnett, Regional Director of Clinical Partnerships at Magnolia Creek, joined Ashley Hemrich, Regional Director of Clinical Partnerships at Selah House, and Michelle Kalz, National Director of Clinical Partnerships, at the IAEDP FoundationSymposium in Orlando, Florida in March.
IAEDP is recognized for providing quality education and training standards to a multidisciplinary group of healthcare professionals who care for those suffering from eating disorders and body-related issues.
