Your Eating Disorder Recovery
Recovery from an eating disorder is a process. It is POSSIBLE and CAN happen! It requires a great deal of hard work and dedication. The results are worth it!
The next few blog posts will be dedicated to creating a “tool box” or skills for recovery. I will share with you several exercises I complete with my patients in individual therapy. The aim is to begin understanding the role the eating disorder plays for you while also developing new coping skills.
In the spirit of developing a tool kit for recovery I suggest you make a box or a journal to dedicate to your recovery. Design a cover that is inspirational for you- cut out magazine pictures that are relaxing and inspirational, draw pictures or write your favorite quotes. This will be a space dedicated to keeping tools for the recovery process- copies of information from your therapist or nutritionist, quotes from books or movies, journal entries, blog posts or discussion board items. Anything that you find helpful along the way. Keep them in one place so you can easily reflect on them in times of need- a great anti-binge strategy.
PLEASE share some quotes or tools here that you find helpful so others can begin filling their recovery box!
