Eating Disorder Recovery- Can you do it?
One of the first questions I am asked when I begin working with patients is: “Is recovery possible?” At the beginning of therapy it feels nearly impossible for people to believe they CAN live a life free from their eating disorder and free from food and weight preoccupations.
I always respond “Yes. I have seen it and I know it happens.”
What I have noticed is that there is not a lot out there about recovery from eating disorders, certainly not a lot of information about what recovery looks like and what things help people get there. I would love to compile feedback from you, my readers about what has worked (or is working) for you. This would be an invaluable research to the Mindfullness community!
