Description
Are you looking for this workshop I used to do?
I haven't planned any more for the foreseeable future. I'm sorry if that is a disappointment.
If it's some consolation, all the help is also in my book, my Bitesize audio collection, and you can also arrange a private call with me.

My daughter asked me if I wanted to listen in on your workshop as my Granddaughter has this eating disorder. It was definitely a good decision of mine to do so. Your workshop and devotion deserves 10 Stars as now I am beginning to understand how best I can contribute to my Granddaughters recovery . God Bless you for passing on your knowledge and Love. This is helping me to help my daughter and Grandchild.

I'm so moved by your words ❤️

Thank you so much for the workshop. It was an incredible relief to be among people with similar problems. But most of all I'm grateful for meeting you, a person who understands this terrible disease and who has given us so many tools and practical tips to fight it.

Thank you very much for the session on "Extinguish Fears". I'm a huge fan of your book and all the additional resources. This is a great help considering that unfortunately FBT is still not the number one treatment in Germany. My key takeaway is the slide on designing challenges. It's a great tool to systematically tackle the fears.

Thank you for the workshop, Eva, I found it was a really good way to explore the ideas of exposure therapy and their practical application. You somehow managed to incorporate all of us parents on the zoom call with different examples that people bought and responses to us as individuals as well as delivering to the group.
You are such a good listener and you have a wonderful knack of responding sensitively and using your experience and intelligence to gauge your answers.
On a personal note your guidance was spot on and your tips resonated with the complexity of our situation. This workshop has come at just the right time as we move forwards into what I feel is a new phase of recovery where we are no longer in immediate crisis but want to help our daughter move away from some restrictions and avoidance of certain foods and food groups. The tools you shared are really helpful and practical and I am starting to put things in to practise even in the first few days since attending the workshop.
I feel the workshop gave me new confidence and energy. Although your book and the bite size audios are so helpful, I found putting aside focused time and concentrating with a group with some individual conversations and responses to issues was really positive thing at this stage in our journey.

Just wanted to share something we did the night after the session that helped, and I am sure it was because of what I learned at your session.
My son had started to have an OCD ritual where he runs up and down our front stairs every night before bed. We have wanted to stop this behaviour, as it was fuelled by anxiety and his anorexia. He had been a bit sick with a cold and said to me ‘I don’t want to run up and down the stairs but I know I have to’.
I said to him, ‘maybe you don’t have to. I think you can manage not doing that tonight, how about you share with me one of your favourite funny videos instead tonight?’
And we did that, and have been doing it every night since. And he has been OK so far, not doing his nightly running up and down the stairs. I do want to get to the point of not watching the short video, but it is a step in the right direction.
So, thank you! I think we will be stuck in his meal plan for a while but it’s good to have a framework for when he is ready to accept more foods.

Really grateful to have tips to ensure our daughter keeps progressing now we've reached phase 2. In the couple of days since the workshop, we've already begun reintroducing fear foods, and we're looking forward to flexible quantities and eyeballing quantities. It was also helpful to be reminded of the empathy guesses covered in the phase 1 workshop and to have strategies other than weight gain (now she's weight restored) to move forward. I also find Zoom workshop delivery with parents/carers in a similar position helpful and reassuring.

Thank you so much for running this course. I learnt a lot and perhaps realised I am not being as honest as we could be. The insight was fabulous and can push us forward on this rocky path that we are all on! It is easy to think things are better when your child’s weight is good! But there are still things to work on!

Eva’s workshop was pure oxygen for this battle weary mama. I am so not a fan of zoom… but I exited my technological comfort zone to be a part of this workshop and it was so worth it. First of all, Eva’s voice is so sweet you just want to listen to her all day! She gives clear, practical, doable tips to facilitate your child’s recovery. She does so without a hint of judgment. Also, being “with” other parents in the trenches was so great to realize we are not alone in this fight. Others who truly “get it.” I can’t wait for the next workshop!

Just to say thank you for an incredibly valuable session – I felt both reassured and motivated to try new things and keep progressing; thank you, Eva, for blending the practical and the positive so expertly and supportively.
Stephanie –
Thank you, thank you, thank you. That was so worthwhile. How odd to feel such a connection with people you don’t even know! All lovely people and good to be in the same "room" as people going through the same thing. Really useful and practical tips for progressing with this scary illness. Thank you, again!

My daughter is not at a proper stage 2 yet but I really wanted to do the workshop to help prepare for what is coming and to have some general contact and support as we are lacking that from our FEDS team.
The workshop has strengthened my confidence in helping my daughter more and since then she has eaten different foods that were very hard for her. I was not sure how much to push her and the workshop (and Eva's book) has given me the confidence to push more yet not berate myself when it doesn't go well. Being able to ask a question I couldn't find an answer to and have others say they have the same question was really helpful. I realised I am not alone with these things and others have got through them. And the "chat" at the end was very powerful in hearing in more detail about another family's journey (inspirational) and being able to offer suggestions to another parent at the beginning of it all.
Eva has a gentle warmth that is calming and reassuring; underpining this her strategies really work and she is rock solid in the support she offers. I felt I could throw anything at her and she would know what to do. At times her book feels overwhelming because there is so much information in it and her workshops give the human touch and connection that I so needed. Highly recommended.

Wow, I am so very glad the workshop did so much for you! Thank you for taking the time to write this.

I attended the phase 2 workshop last week and felt a tremendous sense of relief and empowerment afterwards. Eva's videos on YouTube and her book were incredibly helpful to me as I battled with my daughter's eating disorder over these past eight months and I was so thrilled when I learned that I could "meet" her on zoom. I've encountered quite a few professionals on this journey and none have matched Eva's warmth and compassion and first hand experience and made me feel "seen" and understood the way that she has. Having an opportunity to meet with other parents – through the zoom workshop – who have walked the same path and battled with the same struggle as me was just incredible. There was so much weariness and fear, but the abiding emotion was love. How much we all love our children. How hard we have fought and will fight for them. How extraordinary parents are, just getting things done behind the scenes without recognition and, often without much help. I'm in awe of these mothers and fathers. Thank you Eva for giving us all a place to connect.

Eva's website and book saved my sanity at the frightening beginning of this journey. This workshop on phase 2 or guiding our child to normalcy (I like that better), validated what we were doing (inspired by Eva's description on what she did with her own daughter). Connecting with other parents was also great, we have no peer support group where we live. We actually had no help at all at the beginning and only long distance FBT pediatrician (a really good one luckily) after d was already WR so Eva's resources were and still are invaluable, as well as feast-ed.org.
Thank you Eva for your great work!
