5 Bitter Truths About Eating Disorder Recovery

from The Eating Disorder Therapist · host HARRIET FREW

If eating disorder recovery was just an easy-peasy walk in the woods, picking bluebells and skipping along beautifully curated paths, then you probably wouldn’t be listening to this. Although recovery can lead to some spectacular destinations and a whole bucket of inner peace, the initial routes are often bumpy and tangled with weeds and rocks blocking the way. It can feel frankly quite terrifying. This is not to put you off embarking or continuing along the road. In fact, it is to support you in honesty and reality, and to empower you to keep on going. In this episode, I explore 5 bitter truths about eating disorder recovery. I hope that you find it helpful.   Harriet's Substack: https://substack.com/@theeatingdisordertherapist   To find out more about my work:- Go to my Website ONLINE COURSES - link to all courses HERE Online 10 Steps to Intuitive Eating - a course to help you heal your relationship with food.
