From the Vault: Real Recovery and How to Get There with Carolyn Costin, M.A, M.ED, MFT

While we take a little summer break, we'll be rereleasing some of our most powerful and thought-provoking conversations, and this one tops the list. Originally aired as Episode 175, this conversation remains one of our most impactful discussions on what it truly means to recover from an eating disorder. In this vault episode, I sit down with renowned eating disorder therapist and author Carolyn Costin to explore one of the field's most debated questions: Is full recovery really possible? Together, we unpack what recovery actually looks like, how to strengthen the healthy self, and why hope exists even for those who have struggled for years. Carolyn also shares insights from decades of clinical experience, including her perspective on recovered clinicians, the evolution of eating disorder treatment, and the tools that have helped countless people move toward lasting recovery. Whether you're on your own recovery journey, supporting someone you love, or working in the eating disorder field, this conversation offers an encouraging and timeless perspective on healing.
