Embodied Research

The SEED intervention is an interactive, personalised, and self-directed participant program. The program aims to educate participants about their eating disorder symptoms, including psychoeducation about the cyclical nature and negative consequences of their symptoms.

The program aims to assist participants to develop their own personalised strategies and plans to break these cycles and combat their symptoms. Interactive components of the program include brief self-assessments of eating disorder symptoms with personalised results and recommendations, quizzes to assess knowledge and challenge myths, audio-based exercises, space to journal and develop personalised plans and challenges, and weekly progress reports.

What is an eating disorder?

An eating disorder is a serious mental illness characterised by disturbances to thoughts, behaviours and attitudes to food and eating.
For some, this extends to pre-occupation with exercise and body weight/shape.

Eating disorders are not a lifestyle choice, a diet gone wrong or a cry for attention. Eating disorders can take many different forms and interfere with a person’s emotional, physical and social health.
