This analysis uncovers the connection between trauma and eating disorders, highlighting their role in finding autonomy and voice.
This poetic mediation explores eating disorder as trauma survival and embodied language of suffering that has been hidden and silenced. Treatment processes and experiences that misunderstand and pathologize this embodied language and survival recreate silence, powerlessness, entrapment and trauma, and therefore, reinforce the need for the eating disorder as a means to find voice, autonomy, and freedom.
