How to support a loved one in recovery from an eating disorder 

In this episode I provide guidance on how loved ones can support someone recovering from an eating disorder. I share tips on creating a supportive environment, avoiding judgment, showing unconditional love, and being patient through the recovery process. Main Discussion Points: - Meet the person where they are at in recovery and accept them fully - Ask how you can support them rather than telling them what to do - Create a home environment with plenty of food variety - Gently encourage small wins along the way - Educate yourself about eating disorders - Examine your own behaviors and beliefs around food and body image - Get outside support for yourself as the caretaker - Show unconditional love and compassion Key Quotes: "Acceptance is giving up resisting what is. Acceptance does not mean approval." (00:02:05) "If you tell yourself what to do, you'll only rebel against yourself." (00:03:45) "Recovery does get to be fun if you allow it to be. Fear and fun can go together because you get to decide if they can or they can't."
