Community, Relationship and Intentional Support in Eating Disorder Recovery with Dr. Allison Ash

Today, I’m talking to Dr. Allison Ash, a PhD-level eating disorder recovery coach for women and families. Her work integrates her own recovery journey, research, trauma-informed practice, and the holistic RESTORE framework that she developed across twenty-five years in higher education. Dr. Allison is going to talk today about the importance of community, relationships and intentional support systems in recovery. People often leave inpatient treatment or finish an allotted amount of therapy and then are left to manage alone. Dr. Allison passionately believes that having the right support and community in place can be life changing for sustainable healing and she is going to share practical examples of this. In the episode, Dr Allison is going to weave together her personal experience, research on the role of connection in recovery, and lessons from her work with women and families navigating the long road of healing.
