Young Woman Turns to The Center for Help with Eating Disorder Part I

http://www.aplaceofhope.com Jillianne is a 26-year-old woman who has battled anorexia and bulimia for half her life. In this video she is part of a reality TV show in which they are supposed to be paying for the treatment she needs to get better. They send her to The Center where she begins therapy, only for the show to subsequently be canceled with the producers making no effort to create a follow-up plan for her. Part II (coming soon) reveals how The Center continued helping Jillianne anyway.

I'm disgusted by the way that woman manhandles her with such insensitivity.

Thank you for your comment on the video of Jillianne who has been battling an eating disorder for half her life. I should have made it clear in my description (and have edited accordingly) that the woman Jillianne is with is part of a reality TV show that offered to pay for Jillianne's treatment at The Center. Well, the TV show was canceled and the producers offered no follow up plan for her. We are still treating her at The Center though and she is on the path to recovery.

This is rly sad to see someone suffers like this... I know someone who had ED and she told me the pain of it :'(

She seemed really passive aggressive and manipulative to me, playing up to being this tiny, cutesy, fragile little person, it just seemed really fake and attention seeking... Hopefully that's just part of the disorder for her and as she recovers she learns to ASK for what she needs rather than manipulating people
