the recovery reality check nobody gives you | the recovered-ish podcast ep. 13

hello, lovely friends. welcome back to recovered-ish.today we’re talking about the part of recovery that i think catches a lot of people off guard:how long it takes. how messy it is. and how discouraging it can feel when you’re doing “everything right” and still not feeling better yet.because i think a lot of people go into recovery expecting it to feel hard for a little while… and then eventually click into place.and when that doesn’t happen, it’s really easy to spiral into: is this even working? why is this still so hard? am i doing recovery wrong?this episode is the reality check i think a lot of people need.in this episode, i talk about:why recovery often feels worse before it feels betterthe part of healing nobody really prepares you forwhy treatment is a beginning, not a magic fixhow eating disorders create false safetywhy discomfort doesn’t mean you’re failingwhat actually keeps people going when recovery feels long and exhaustingwhy you’re not behind just because it’s taking timei also talk about the difference between wanting recovery and actually staying in it long enough for your brain and body to catch up.if you’ve ever thought, “i’m trying so hard… why does this still feel awful?” this one is for you.sponsortoday’s episode is sponsored by Cozy Earth — truly one of my favorite brands i’ve gotten to partner with.if you want to romanticize your life a little and make your bed / pajamas / nervous system feel better, i highly recommend.use code RECOVERY for up to 20% off 👉 www.cozyearth.comsupport beyond the podcast💛 Recovery Skills Training — my step-by-step program for eating disorder recovery use code PODCAST for $57 off 👉 https://recoverwithchloe.thrivecart.com/recovery-skills-training/follow along on instagram: @recoverwithchloedon’t forget to eat your food.Resources + Connect with Me:Instagram: @recoverwithchloeRecovery Skills Training: use code PODCAST for $57 off!Leave a 5-star review on Spotify or Apple PodcastsSubscribe on YouTube!
