Write a reflection essay about what you feel that you have learned this semester (I am NOT looking for a synopsis on the class or feedback on the class itself). Using your journals as a guide, share with me your thoughts and feelings on anything that you  have learned about in this class: this could include eating/feeding disorders, medical concerns, treatments, GLP-1s, media, culture etc. This is not a grade about what you know but a space to explain what your experience has been for your own reflection while thinking about this sensitive topic. 

Using the case you have conceptualized throughout the semester, and your associated notes, please explain your final thoughts/recommendations for your specific case.
