Wow, I so enjoyed the SPEAKS conference today! Been such a joy to develop and run this research programme for the past 6 years. Hugely grateful to everyone who has been involved. I am leaving with so much, personally and professionally. m.youtube.com/watch?v=gia_2y…

Anorexia Myths Yes, this. In SPEAKS we started from trying to understand lived experience of others to develop our thoughts on anorexia first, building therapy from there upwards. Nothing is for everyone, so SPEAKS is not for all, but we believe in this approach for developing therapies.

Super pleased one of our early SPEAKS projects which informed the development of the #SPEAKStherapy is finally out - Seeing Through the Façade of Anorexia: A Grounded Theory of Emotional Change Processes Associated With Recovery From Anorexia Nervosa frontiersin.org/article/10.338…

Calling all researchers who work with individuals with eating disorders! We'd love to hear about the work you're doing at one of our meetings! Presenting is also a great opportunity to share ideas & get feedback. Projects can be in progress or preparation! Email: [email protected]

More research is needed into the underlying mechanisms of #anorexia that can make treatment more effective. This was one of the goals of the SPEAKS

We’re delighted that the first SPEAKS training dates have been released. Anna Oldershaw and Helen Startup would love you join them next March!
