ABSTRACT
When our daughter fell ill with anorexia, it triggered about three years of a rollercoaster ride of horri®c counselling, worsening physical frailty, deep soul-searching and the life-saving discovery of an amazing counsellor before she came free. Starting with `conventional' psychiatric counselling that was painful to endure, we found an alternative therapy that was almost as strange as the conventional had been painful, teaching us a new way of thinking about Diana and anorexia.
