What helped the most? | What helped the least? |
The way the brain functions. The noisy brain. | Honestly nothing, and I mean that. |
Putting together a treatment plan, discovering the internal workings within the brain, and finding new ways to look at and talk about nutrition. | Nothing |
Interaction with other families, neuro education, role playing. [Redacted] is always so incredibly helpful. I think 4 families was a good number. | I didn't really like the DBT sessions - didn't find them that helpful |
I have never approached recovery this way and I am hoping it's the way that will work for me. | Nothing. Only regret was not having more time to attend. |
Family support based - I will be accountable. Intense, quick - packed with evidence based program. Amazing staff. [Redacted]…life changers. The contract is great. Eliminates questions later. | More heads up BEFORE coming to the program about what the meal plan will be like to minimize the big change/transition to the new meal plan. |

What helped the most? | What helped the least? |
So much useful information to practice and take home. | Honestly, I understand the benefit to you of getting this feedback and I have struggled with these end-of-day questions. |
The program approaches the illness with scientific data. Solutions are good. For the first time, I see an end to this illness. | Really can't say there was anything I didn't like it was a great program. |
One on one with team. Brain science studies and examples (restaurant). | (blank) |
Being educated about the illness, the meal plan as medicine, making room per individualization, being able to share with other clients and families, the individual therapy session. | Suggest to have [redacted] review the study protocol on Sunday during pre-testing. Also, more structure for dinner Sunday night during pretesting. |
[Redacted]’s presentation on the brain function for a patient with ED. Learning more about MY daughter, and why she does what she does - also how to manage recovery. The contract. | Down time |
