First thing to note is the voice is not natural, is not an innocent persons voice speaking to themselves. This is a tricky situation as everyone's conscious mind has a constant, waking internal monologue going all the time. We literally verbalize much of our experience outwardly or inwardly most of the time. Being still & silent is an accomplishment. Problem is there are many voices in the sub & unconscious. Words from everyone in one's personal experience particularly those close to oneself like family & friends. There are wonderful words like, say from the Bible or uplifting music. And then there are the destructive words from evil entities that need victims for their own survival. So, with all the past experience of downloaded language in the unconscious things can fragment if there is no core or center from which to make proper judgments of right from wrong or truth from lie.

So, the first step to remove those destructive voices is to establish a center or standard "belief" to out-compete any intruders. This is one of the great advantages of sincere religion, it removes foreign or adversarial intruders from one's personal space. In this event, I would recommend listening to the Old Testament Bible Proverbs & Psalms. You can download the wisdom teachings on PC and listen on any devices on a regular basis. This treatment should work in almost all minor cases of infringement, but it may be necessary to go on to audio of the New Testament as Christ has authority over these voices.

There are many sorts of psychological self-help tools you can subscribe to like affirmations and lifestyle modification.

If the former suggestions do not remove the voices, there is recently some very useful tools developed specifically to remove the intruders. Lately I've been keeping up with an experienced spiritual apprentice now teacher of several schools that is getting very good results with many of his clients. People are experiencing freedoms in their lives like never before from the techniques. Here is the link

I have read a lot of research that claims supplementing with high doses of zinc and vitamin b6 has a dramatic effect on anorexia, search on line and you will find it. Best wishes for your daughter's health.

She had the same 'voices' you have described, that would shame her every time she ate and food was a constant worry.

There were four distinct shifts in her recovery

• The first was Maudsley family base eating.You can goggle that.
• The second was going on an anti depressant
• The third, which helped the most where the voices were concerned, was starting on Niacin. She takes 1000mg three times a day with meals.
• The fourth was talk therapy.

She still continues with the last three.

She also takes the following supplements once a day

• B50
• fish oil
• vitamin C 2000mg
• zinc
• B6
• Niacin should be the one that gives you a flush. Start at a lower dose and built it up. My daughter started at 200mg with every meal for two days and then made it 500mg and added more till it reached 1000mg three times a day with meals. Never take it empty stomach.

It's a tough disease to fight and one that takes time. Don't give up hope. There are a lot of helpful websites for parents.

I don't know what it is like in the UK, but certainly here in the states, our culture feeds the "anorexic voice." All media, magazines, billboards etc. are constantly telling everyone that skinny is beautiful. (And airbrushed models make that "skinny" ridiculously unattainable, not to mention the pursuit of which is most unhealthy, as you know.) While you cannot hole up and never see any media, reducing/replacing its influence may be helpful if possible, particularly at home.

Ignoring a voice is much harder to do than tuning in to a different voice, though it is still work. Replace those destructive thoughts with positive thoughts. Find music with positive lyrics to listen to. Help her find things that she can use fight that voice with thoughts that are positive.

If she is on social media, help her find others who have found victory over anorexia to "follow." Ones who will tell her the truth about true beauty and help her fight the anorexic voice. (And she should avoid "following" those who feed the destructive voice.)

What are her strengths and talents? If she can get plugged in to activities that will allow her to develop and use her strengths, it will help her to have more positive thoughts and have more positive things to focus on.

For me, the book of Psalms has lots of positive things that help me when I struggle with a "voice" that is telling me something destructive. For example, once, when I was very fearful facing surgery (having had life threatening complications following a similar surgery) I constantly quoted to myself, "The angel of the Lord encampeth round about those that fear Him, and delivereth them."

Nutritional deficiencies can contribute to racing thoughts as well. Magnesium is very important for anxiety and something many are deficient in. There are some herbs that are calming, too. Chamomile is generally pretty gentle and calming.

I hope you find some things that will be helpful to her. I know a number of girls who have gained the victory over anorexia. It is a fight, though. I am glad she has you on her side.
