“Thank you for the workshop yesterday. I’ve suffered with my eating disorder for a long time and your session really resonated with me and was so incredibly helpful.”
“Nobody wants to see their child struggle and without the support of First Steps, we would still be faced with a huge lack of support and endless waiting lists.”
“I am very glad that I attended the Finding Peace With Food workshop, I just wish that I had been given this information years ago. I have now stopped binge eating and have lost a stone within a couple of weeks just from eating properly. This is great because I recently had a hernia operation and they were concerned that it may not work or fail due to my weight. Anyway, I am really embracing this new approach and hope it is a new way of life for me!”
“If you get the chance to try this format of helping you with your ARFID, I thoroughly recommend it. You will add something to your diet using this method and as you gain confidence, the sky’s the limit!”
“The psychotherapy I received from First Steps truly saved me. I was convinced that I would be stuck in the same cycles forever. It’s given me a totally different outlook on life I never thought I could’ve had and I can now say that I’m actually looking forward to a future where I’m free.”
“Overall an extremely valuable and informative service. I like the understanding that you are not alone, about the ED voice and how best to approach the issue with my daughter.”
