Mixed feelings are characteristic of people presenting with eating AN and the helper must balance how much to push, take charge, or cajole and not.  Battling is one thing that can go wrong with eating disorders treatment.  These battles can escalate into struggles with tragic results.  The battles can be minimized by recognizing that the sufferer needs space and to be worked with alongside as opposed to being taken over.

Feel free to call me to discuss further.
