Find the Word You Need Today - Eating Disorders
Eating disorders are not simply about food. Food and eating may become connected with fear, control, sensory experiences, predictability, distress, body image, routines, shame, anxiety and safety.
This gentle word search deliberately contains no weights, calories, measurements or food rules.
Instead, the hidden words include SAFE, NOURISH, SUPPORT, GENTLE, ENOUGH, BODY, TRUST, CHOICE, STEADY, COMPASSION, RECOVERY, PATIENCE, REST, BREATHE, KINDNESS, LISTEN, CONNECTION, COURAGE, ACCEPT and HOPE.
Inside the downloadable resource:
• a full playable Eating Disorders word search
• a “The Word I Need Today” reflection
• prompts around safety, support, choice and self-compassion
• a small supportive-step exercise
• a personal message from Maggie
• a gentle recovery check-in
• a reminder that medical or specialist support may be necessary when eating or drinking has become physically unsafe
There is no score and no perfect way to complete this exercise.
Your body is not a puzzle to solve.
