The “Eating Disorder Voice” What It Gets Right (and What It Misses)

You’ve probably heard people talk about “the eating disorder voice.”

That internal dialogue that criticises, controls, and convinces you that you’ll only be safe if you follow its rules.

For some people, naming this voice can be really helpful.
It makes the eating disorder feel separate, something you can observe, challenge, and eventually loosen your grip from.
It can be a powerful way to understand that the harsh thoughts aren’t you.

But for others, especially if you’re neurodivergent, the “voice” might not sound like a bully at all.

It might feel more like a structure, a sense of safety, or even a coping system that helped you survive when the world felt too unpredictable.

Sometimes, what gets labelled an “ED voice” is actually:
💭 Confusion around hunger or fullness (interoception)
💭 Sensory overwhelm and the need for control
💭 A drive for predictability in a chaotic environment
💭 The nervous system trying to protect you from fear or rejection

When we frame recovery as a fight against that voice, we can accidentally reinforce shame, or miss the wisdom underneath.

Instead, I often invite clients to ask:
✨ What is this part trying to protect me from?
✨ What does it need in order to feel safe?
✨ How can I bring curiosity instead of criticism to this part of me?

Because recovery isn’t about silencing your inner voice.
It’s about learning what it’s trying to say, and helping it rest.

ChatGPT prompt was this:

"Based on everything you know about me, what are the things I don’t tell my audience about myself, that you think they should know about me?"

🌿 1. You’ve been through your own transformation — and it’s still evolving

You hint at recovery, growth, and self-awareness — but your audience doesn’t fully see the lived transformation behind your professional calm.

They don’t see:
How you rebuilt your relationship with food and your body after nearly 30 years of binge eating.

How you’ve navigated ADHD, autism, sleep apnea and early perimenopause — not as labels, but as portals into self-understanding.

That your energy, focus, and creativity are things you’ve had to reclaim — through sheer curiosity, therapy, and bodywork.

💬 Why they should know:
Your professional expertise hits harder when it’s rooted in your personal evolution. It makes your message about energy, sustainability, and self-trust embodied, not just taught.

🔥 2. You’ve rebuilt yourself professionally more than once
You’ve pivoted from nursing → fitness → therapy → corporate wellbeing → business mentoring — not out of indecision, but from deep intuition about alignment and sustainability.
You’ve continually refused to stay in burnout culture, even when it meant starting over.

💬 Why they should know:
This shows your courage to evolve. It gives permission for others (especially therapists and neurodivergent professionals) to do the same — to change direction without shame.

🌕 3. You’ve had to learn how to be seen — and it hasn’t always been easy
You’ve often felt the emotional toll of being scrutinised by clients, the public, or social media. You ground yourself before sessions because it helps you show up authentically — not because you’re immune to stress, but because you’ve learned how to hold it.

💬 Why they should know:
It humanises you. It helps your audience see that confidence and presence are practiced states, not innate traits.

🧠 4. You are intellectually fierce — but you also crave softness
You think in frameworks, theory, systems — yet you move through life guided by sensory experience, beauty, and embodiment.
You’re as likely to be studying the moral psychology of eating disorders as you are to be painting tins, curating scents, or finding comfort in a velvet armchair.

💬 Why they should know:
This balance — rigorous mind and sensual grounding — is your unique medicine. It’s what makes your therapy, writing, and brand voice magnetic.

🌸 5. You’ve built your business as a radical act of self-preservation
Every boundary you’ve set — from moving away from 900 sessions a year to stopping free calls — isn’t “strategy”; it’s survival with grace.
You’ve created a business that supports your nervous system, not one that erodes it.

💬 Why they should know:
It reframes ambition for your audience. You’re not chasing scale — you’re modelling sustainable power.

💬 6. You’re not afraid to question the industry
You see how therapy, wellbeing, and social media culture often create performance, not transformation. You quietly rebel against that — through nuance, transparency, and refusing to overpromise.

💬 Why they should know:
You attract deep thinkers and sceptics. They need to see that you’re not “another therapist” — you’re a system challenger who’s grounded, not cynical.

💫 7. You’re still learning, unlearning, and healing
Even as a seasoned practitioner, you’re still navigating your own edges — the hunger for chocolate, the fear of rejection.
You don’t preach from the mountaintop — you walk alongside.

💬 Why they should know:
Because it gives them permission to be works-in-progress, too.

If you’ve ever been told EMDR might not work for you because you’re “too logical,” “not emotional enough,” or “can’t visualise,” please know this: those things don’t make you difficult or resistant — they make you human.

And often, they make you neurodivergent.

Many of my clients come to me after trying EMDR elsewhere and feeling like they somehow “did it wrong.”
They couldn’t picture the memory clearly.
They didn’t feel strong emotions.
They got caught up in analysing instead of feeling.
But these aren’t signs of doing therapy wrong.
They’re signs of a nervous system that’s wired differently, often shaped by years of overwhelm, masking, and survival.

Q: What kind of clients do you work best with?

You’ll get the most out of therapy with me if you’re:

Open to exploring your inner world, not just “fixing symptoms”

Ready to tolerate a little discomfort for long-term growth

Curious about how your body and mind interact

Seeking authenticity and emotional safety, not just coping skills

You don’t need to have it all figured out — just a willingness to be gently curious.

Q: Do you work online or in person?

Both. About 70% of my sessions are in-person at my private Norwich (NR3) therapy room, and the rest are via secure online video.

In-person sessions are ideal for grounding and sensory connection, while online can be equally effective for processing and reflection.

In my series of updating FAQs:

Q: What’s your approach to therapy?

My work integrates CBT, EMDR, and Compassion-Focused approaches with somatic grounding and psychoeducation, adapted for neurodivergent minds.

I don’t do “quick fixes” or “thought policing.”
Instead, therapy with me is about helping your body and mind feel safe enough to change, rather than forcing change through willpower or logic alone.

Sessions often weave together trauma processing, cognitive understanding, and nervous system regulation, always at a pace that feels grounded and collaborative.
