This Eating Disorders Awareness week I was really pleased to be asked by BBC Southeast to comment on SPEAKS therapy.
SPEAKS is an integrative emotion focused intervention (developed by me, with colleagues Helen Startup & Tony Lavender) particularly seeking to help people with #anorexia who may have been unwell a long time and who have become quite stuck.
One of the key things I had wanted to say (typically edited out) is that there is always hope, no matter how stuck things may have become.
If you’d like to learn more about SPEAKS and watch our SPEAKS animation, on the SPEAKS page of this website. Even better, watch the BBC news footage to hear from somebody who received SPEAKS and how she feels it helped her.
Emotion Speaks is the professional website of Dr Anna Oldershaw, clinical psychologist, Director of Emotion Focused Therapy Institute of England and co-developer of SPEAKS.
