Eating Disorder Toolbox - For a Partner
A partner can be an important source of steadiness, but you cannot recover on somebody else’s behalf. This toolbox offers language, boundaries and practical support that can help you stay connected without letting the eating disorder take over the whole relationship.
Inside, you’ll find practical, gentle prompts for difficult moments, communication ideas and simple ways to make support feel calmer and more manageable. I wanted this to feel like something you can actually come back to - not a list of rules, and not something that expects anyone to get everything right.
Please use what feels helpful and leave what does not fit. Eating disorders are complex and can affect physical health as well as emotional wellbeing, so this resource is designed to sit alongside appropriate professional support rather than replace it.
Warmly,
Maggie
