ASTrA is an interactive self-help tool designed to help you become aware of and re-evaluate your own beliefs surrounding eating, body image, and weight control. ASTrA is not designed to replace therapy, but to serve as a guide to those who are considering starting therapy, who are awaiting therapy for an eating disorder, or who may already be in therapy, but want to give a boost to their efforts to develop and maintain recovery-oriented thoughts.

To use ASTrA, simply press the “Continue” button, then think about the ideas that the tool will present. For maximum benefits, read carefully, and give serious thought to your own values and beliefs as you go along. Given the diverse ways in which eating disorders present, it is possible that some of the items you’ll encounter do not apply to you.

And please remember: People recover from eating disorders every day. There is always something you can do to take a step towards recovery.
