You Can't Hack Recovery

from Humans of Eating Disorders · host Kate Ely and Pamela St. Clair

Join us as we explore what it means to try to hack eating disorder recovery. We look at the subtle and not-so-subltle ways we try to bypass the healing process and how this is a part of the grief process of losing an eating disorder. We share common examples of what hacking recovery can look like, including the ways we tried to hack our own recoveries. We talk in depth about why hacking attempts leads to stuckness. Most importantly, we discuss what meaningful recovery requires and why surrender is often the turning point bringing our path out of an eating disorder into focus.In this episode we discuss:What does it mean to try to hack recovery Hacking as a part of the bargaining stage of grief Common examples of trying to hack recovery How we tried to hack recovery Why hacking fails every time The hidden costs of hacking What actually helps you move forward Disclaimer: The content in this podcast reflects our own experiences and opinions and our guests and should not be taken as mental health or medical advice. ⁠Join our Facebook Peer Support Group⁠Get in Touch With UsKate ElyIG: @recoverwithkate Email: [email protected] Coaching Website: ⁠⁠recoverwithkate.com⁠⁠Therapy Website: ⁠rachelmillnertherapy.com/kate-ely⁠Pamela St. ClairIG: @pamelaevarecovery Email: [email protected]: ⁠⁠pamelaevarecovery.com
