Eating Distress and a History of Trauma

Debriefing Information Sheet

Thank you very much for making this study possible.

This study aims to explore how women with eating distress perceive the lived experience of their eating difficulties. I was particularly interested in:

 What your views were on how you developed eating distress

 What life experiences you felt were relevant to developing eating distress

 What ways your eating distress affects your daily life, and

 What your experiences of receiving therapeutic interventions for your eating distress have been

Existing research indicates that trauma during childhood represents a strong antecedent to developing eating distress in later life. Whilst the published literature has examined this link, there is little research examining the underlying relationship between these two presenting problems. Researchers have argued that further research into the lived and in-depth experiences of these individuals may uncover the processes that may be involved in this relationship. Exploring the experience of eating distress from a personal perspective may also be helpful in promoting

prevention of and recovery from eating disorders.

Sources of Comfort and Help

Talking about your experiences may have left you feeling low or upset. This is quite normal and should pass within a few days. However, if these feelings persist there are local sources of support and comfort which may already be familiar to you. 1. Immediate sources of comfort and help are likely to be your own family and friends. It may help to share your experience of taking part in the research with those you are close to.

2. As you know, your named clinician at either the Eating Disorder Service or CMHT is aware of this study, and you have the option to talk to them about how you feel following participation.

3. There are also a number of national organisations who can also offer you support. For example:

 beat (tel. 0845 634 1414; www.b-eat.co.uk; [email protected]). beat (the

working name of the Eating Disorders Association) is the leading UK charity for people with eating disorders and their families, providing information, help and support. Their helpline staff have received a comprehensive training programme, and are there to listen. They will offer information about treatment and other sources of help available, encouraging callers to make their own decisions about a way forward.

Version 1.0 24/05/2011

 They will also be able to give information about beat resources, books, leaflets etc., and can post out a basic information pack. The helpline is open from 10.30am to 8.30pm Mon-Fri; 1pm to 4.30pm on Sat, closed on Sun and open 11.30am to 2.30pm on Bank Holidays.

 The Samaritans (tel. 08457 909090; www.samaritans.org). The Samaritans

is a helpline which is open 24 hours a day for anyone in need. It is staffed by trained volunteers who will listen sympathetically.
