At vzw empathy, you will find yourself in a warm environment.
You feel the experience in working with adolescents and an eating disorder.
The doctors are knowledgeable and understand the art of involved confrontation. For the ‘patient/client’ it is hard work.
Self-reflection, underlying patterns of fear of failure and perfectionism are also exposed and addressed, and it pays off. First change in the head, then the pounds.
As parents, you are a directly involved party and they know that at Empathy. They work with the context of the family, you are involved and also coached in the difficult process of dealing with the eating disorder and your adolescent.
It is an added value that dieticians are also present under the same roof so that there can be a close relationship between therapist and dietician.
In short: a warm recommendation for all those who choose professional outpatient therapy.

Anorexia nervosa (AN) is an illness with a huge impact on all areas of an individual’s life and their context (Jones et al., 2008). AN patients live, as it were, under the dictatorship of the ‘inner critic’, a strong inner normative voice that constantly reiterates the same disapproving judgements. Stinckens (2001) uses this metaphor to refer to an ‘integrated system of critical and negative thoughts and attitudes towards the self, which was imposed from outside’. The inner critic manifests itself in various ways, causing emotional well-being and social relationships to suffer from its many demands on the patient. Moreover, AN has a dismal prognosis. Less than half of patients fully recover from the disease; 20 per cent develop a chronic eating disorder and 5 per cent of AN patients die from the effects of the disease or by suicide (Steinhausen, 2002; Steinhausen, 2008).

Abstract Anorexia nervosa (AN) is an illness with a major impact on the individual. Among other things, it affects quality of life, relationships with friends and family, social integration, personal development and physical health. However, most Quality of Life studies focus mainly on health, without paying attention to psychosocial and subjective aspects. In this study, individuals with AN were examined from a broad perspective.
