75: How Eating Disorders Affect the Whole Family w/ Kristin Fickes
Description
“Thankfully, the story does not end there. I figured it out. And God's absolute, total grace and faithfulness showed me the way and led me to the right help.
Kristin Fickes’ story is relatable, and her experience is a gift. She’s someone we're linking arms with at FINDINGbalance in this fight against eating disorders. It's a Kingdom campaign and we're on it together.
In this conversation, we’re talking about how the entire family is impacted when someone is walking through recovery from an eating disorder, the difference it makes to have Christ-centered care as a part of treatment, and what parents can do to ensure any siblings feel included and supported.
Siblings and other children in the household are very significant members of the family unit that need to be included for the healing of the whole system. Be sure to check the show notes for additional resources wherever you are on this journey.
