Selection of quotes from participants of the pilot study

"[The videos] certainly made it clear what a great deal of suffering affected persons experience […] they especially made the thought processes that affected persons have a little more relatable for me" - Participant 1, experiences with ED through friends/family “A lot of different emotions were mentioned [in the videos], um, and I think that, um, maybe not every emotion will apply to everyone, but since there were quite a few, I can imagine that there will be something for everyone, um, that they will be able to identify with” - Participant 2, no experiences with ED “As someone who once suffered from an eating disorder, I definitely felt heard and included […] especially when it's another patient talking to you, it's like, okay, she's talking to me right now, there are two of us in this boat so we're sitting in the same place, we're at eye level" - Participant 3, personal experiences with ED “I can imagine that not only patients with eating disorders will be able to identify themselves [with the videos], but also patients with psychosomatic disorders or disorders or illnesses that are not visible” - Participant 4, no experiences with ED
