Do any of these behaviors interact with your eating disorder behaviors? Definitions: Guilt: Flags behavior that does not meet our internal standard. About what we do Shame: About who we are Learned Helplessness: Situations where even though we are not helpless we act helpless this may be in order to get attention or approval or avoid punishment and withdrawal of love.
