The effect of eating disorders on communication : before and after therapy : an honors thesis (HONRS 499)

Abstract

Communication affects all aspects of life. Depending whether someone can communicate well, or whether they cause confusio~ and misunderstandings, can greatly impact one's life. During my struggles with an eating disorder I communicated differently than I do today. I believe that this is due to the therapy I went to at Selah House. It is interesting to evaluate the differences in my communication methods and skills before and after I attended intensive outpatient therapy. This analysis demonstrates how much a life event can alter someone and their relationships due to the change in communication, which proves how important communication really is.
