About this listen

Amanda Long talks about her struggles with and recovery from an eating disorder.   After 20 years as a journalist, she became a massage therapist in 2011 and loves communicating through touch.  She checked herself into inpatient treatment for an eating disorder in 2017, and is yearning to care for, love and accept her own body after 25 years of letting an eating disorder control it. She recently wrote about recovery in quarantine in The Washington Post (https://www.washingtonpost.com/magazine/2020/04/10/after-lifelong-struggle-with-an-eating-disorder-she-has-more-fear-than-coronavirus-during-self-isolation/?arc404=true).
