Rediscover a healthy relationship with food, body, and self

EEDI (the Egyptian Eating Disorders Initiative) is an online, evidence-based program designed to treat a spectrum of disordered eating and body image concerns. Available in Arabic and English.

Your Mind & Body Are Powerful Allies

Your body image influences your self-esteem, social life, intimacy, mood, eating behavior, and overall quality of life. When you're not happy with your body, it can leave you feeling insecure and isolated. Not only that, but it can also disrupt your eating patterns and mess with your mood. That's why it's important to make a conscious effort to nurture a positive body image.

EEDI Program: Cultivating Mind-Body Wellness


The ED Program offers a comprehensive and compassionate approach to addressing a spectrum of disordered eating and body image concerns. Our program is designed to empower individuals to cultivate a healthy relationship with food, their bodies, and themselves and to support them on their healing journey.

The program is structured into 7-session sprints to establish a strong foundation for recovery and empower you to continue your healing journey beyond the program.

Our Approach

Session 0 Planning

 

During the assessment session, your assessor will inquire about your medical history, eating habits, emotional well-being, and past treatment experiences.

This helps the treatment team develop a personalized plan based on your specific needs, symptoms, and goals. Diagnoses are made using the criteria from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5).

Sessions 1 to 6 - Implementation

During sessions 1 to 6, you will have 6 weekly sessions with your assigned therapist, focusing on implementing the chosen treatment modalities and working towards your recovery goals. Additionally, if necessary, 2 sessions of the 6 sessions maybe be with an assigned nutritionist who will help you create a balanced meal plan.

Session 7 – Review & Reflection

In the final session of the program, you will have a check-in with Dr. Sally Moore, who oversees your treatment.
This session is an opportunity to review your progress, discuss challenges and successes, and address any remaining concerns. Dr. Moore will provide feedback, offer guidance for your ongoing recovery, and make recommendations for further treatment if necessary.  

Session details may vary, and the program outlined is a general overview that can be adapted to your specific needs.
