Does ED cause anxiety /stress on your vacations?

Holiday Enhancing Therapy

During the summer 2010, Marino Therapy Centre will have an eating distress practitioner based in Lanzarote to rescue you from any crisis or just to help enhance your holiday. This programme aims to give you the best of both worlds. The freedom and independence to enjoy your holidays, with the benefit and assurance of a therapist nearby to continue with your recovery or to help you with the challenge of travelling with ED.

We are currently taking bookings for dates between: June 23rd - July 12th 2010. This programme will provide sessions on a one-to-one basis, personally tailored to each client's needs.

Holiday Tips


Please note, in early stages of recovery we recommend shorter breaks and the more recovered you are the more you can enjoy longer holidays.

  • Forget therapy, but do not forget what you learned about your recovery
  • Have a medical check up before your holiday so you can go away worry free.
  • Your duty on this holiday is to make the best out of it and have fun
  • Do not pack your negativity in your suitcase, it could be too heavy
  • Instead worrying about how many calories you eat, think how much more you can enjoy yourself
  • Share yourself with people and you will notice just how liked you are
  • Write down your nice moments
  • Take a lot of photos
  • Instead of being absorbed in your condition and negativity, try to get absorbed in the culture and different lifestyles around you
  • Do not feel guilty about anything, there is plenty time for that when you come home
  • Do not starve – you are only shrinking your enjoyment and your self-esteem
  • Drink more water than alcohol, you will feel better the next day
  • Ring a friend or a help-line if your condition gets too much of you
  • Be willing to feel happy
