The Four Critical Components of Recovery
- Self-Exploration and Feeding Soul Hunger: learn to tune in, identify feelings and warning signs and communicates those emotions to others.
- Support and Authentic Connection: learn to identify a positive support system and find accountability among healthy peers and a treatment team who “get it” and are working on recovery with you.
- Skill-building and Practice: tools and techniques to adequately prepare you to surf the wave of life’s ups and downs on your recovery journey & beyond.
- Flexible Control: Eating disorder recovery is unique, it is not a substance you stop using, it’s not black and white. Recovery takes skill and walking a gray line of trusting your support system to help you stop unhealthy behaviors and encourage new ones. You will learn how to have flexible control to establish a new relationship with food, movement, and your body.
