“The ‘What Do I Say?’ Script Pack for supporting a Loved one during Eating Disorder Recovery”

The aim of this resource is to empower carers with practical examples and shortcut uses of the New Maudsley tools and foster an atmosphere of collaboration and understanding within their families. By incorporating these methods, carers can support their loved one’s recovery journey in a way that balances compassion, encouragement, and respect for their autonomy.

Inside this resource you’ll find:

• 100+ real-life scenarios

• Examples of what you could say in each one

• Validation + support scripts using the “three becauses”

• Language that de-escalates instead of inflames

Whether it’s:

• Refusing meals

• Body image distress

• Anger or shutdown

• Avoidance or withdrawal

You’ll have words ready, instead of freezing or reacting.
