are NOT friends, family, or significant others, i.e. bosses, co-workers,
society at large (like blogging), teachers, coaches, etc.
Week 2 (beginning May 21): The purpose of disclosing and/or discussing
your e/d with people (even friends and family) - is it for help, for
support, to compare, to shock, to explain, etc? Examining the reasons
behind disclosure and discussion of your e/d and what is healthy &
helpful (& professional as the case may be, like with a boss or
coworkers)
Week 3 (beginning May 28): Eating Disorders &
Trust - in romantic relationships and/or friendships, there may be trust
issues related to disclosure of eating disorders - discuss this and the
things that may be helpful in addressing it
Week 4 (beginning

with others - things to touch on may include self esteem (which we've
talked about a lot already), personal fears, self hate, vulnerability,
