Can a clinician treat disordered eating while themself in active recovery?

Can a clinician treat eating disorders while themselves in active recovery? Many of us in the eating disorder recovery field have our own lived experience. It follows that, just like for our clients, recovery is often nonlinear, clinicians are no exception. What happens when a clinician experiences a relapse? Can they still be trusted to effectively treat clients whose symptoms, in some ways, mirror their own? Will they be triggered by their clients' symptoms? In this episode, psychotherapist Lucie Waldman shares her experience grappling with these questions and the conclusions she has reached.
