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." (00:14:07)
