If you've been doing all the things — therapy, dietician, meal plan — and still feel like you're spinning your wheels, this episode is for you.
In this episode I'm sharing a practical, honest list of things to try when eating disorder recovery feels stuck. These are the gaps I've seen in standard treatment models, the things that have made the biggest difference for my clients and for me, and the approaches that might breathe some new life into your recovery if you're hitting a wall.
In This Episode:
Why recovering towards something — not just away from the ED — changes everything
EMDR therapy and trauma — and why addressing the root might be the missing piece
When to consider changing or adding to your treatment team
Getting assessed for neurodivergence, OCPD, or OCD — and why it matters
The "acting as if" technique — and why fake it till you make it actually works
Auditing the information faucets in your life — what's helping and what's feeding the disorder
Reducing decision fatigue around food — and why surrendering control is actually strength
