Finding My Way Back To Myself Through Anorexia Recovery

BITE BY BITE | Honest Conversations About Eating Disorder Recovery

Welcome back to the Bite by Bite Podcast.

Sometimes relapse is part of the process - and that’s okay because we can learn from it. In today’s episode, Kait shares the story of her two very different experiences with eating disorder recovery. The first time, formal treatment. The second time, messy but honest.

Through this conversation, Kait explores what eating disorder recovery really asks of us, why relapse isn't failure, and how to stop performing healing and start truly doing the work.

Episode topics:

• Intro to Kait's 2 recovery chapters (2:39)
• Attempt #1: Kait goes to formal treatment (3:19)
• Treatment structure (6:18)
• Kait's progress externally versus internally (7:00)
• Kait shares the main lessons learned from formal eating disorder treatment (8:00)
• Discharge from treatment (9:29)
• Attempt#2: Honest, messy, and freeing (11:48)
• Strategies/tools Kait continues to use to help her work through her eating disorder recovery (16:07)
• Kait reflects on the journey (21:03)
