ARE YOU A WOMAN WHO HAS HEALED FROM AN EATING DISORDER? DID YOU FIND SELF-COMPASSION PLAYED A ROLE IN YOUR HEALING PROCESS? IF SO, PLEASE CONSIDER BEING PART OF THIS RESEARCH STUDY.
Hi, my name is Ann Saffi Biasetti and I am a PhD student in psychology with a transpersonal concentration at Sofia University in Palo Alto, California. I am seeking participants for my study of recovery from an eating disorder. I am particularly interested in those who can relate to self-compassion as playing some role in their healing.
Self-compassion can be defined as the wish or desire to heal; the wish to stop self-harm; the wish to end suffering; the desire to help oneself, be kind to oneself.

*In good physical and mental health
*Have had at least 3 years recovery from a primary eating disorder
*Relate to self-compassion as a primary experience in your healing
*Able to participate in the project and express your experience
WHAT WILL BE REQUIRED OF ME?
*The filling out of a demographic questionnaire (10 min.)
*The filling out of an informed consent (10 min.)
*1-2 interviews lasting approximately 1 hour either in-person or by phone/skype (time & location arranged with you).
BENEFITS TO YOU

Life without Anorexia
My life at the moment is completely different to how it once was. I spent 5 years sick with anorexia nervosia and depression as well as struggling with self harm and overexercising. I spent 2 years in different treatment centres.
And since 2012 i have been declared healthy from my eating disorder.
I have been blogging for 7 years, and my whole journey is written in my posts. I now represent healthy and happiness. I want to show anyone struggling that it is possible to recover, no matter how hard it may seem.
I now blog about recovery, my life, veganism and positivity!
