Abstract

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.
