Understanding Disordered Eating: Eating Disorder Recovery and Body Image Healing

159. Your Eating Disorder Diagnosis Doesn't Matter


Listen Later

Many often question whether they're "sick enough" or feel like their struggles don't fit into a neat little box. So let's talk about it.

This week, we're diving into why eating disorders are way more complex than the labels we slap on them—and why real recovery requires thinking outside the diagnosis.

Tweetable Quotes

"It is impossible to focus on just symptom reduction and not the bigger picture of all the other things that contribute to someone's eating disorder." - Rachelle Heinemann

"The second someone's relationship with food or really anything out there bothers them, it's already an issue." - Rachelle Heinemann

"When we typically see one version of an infection in a hospital, we can sort of treat it the same way—but with mental health, it's not uniform at all." - Rachelle Heinemann

"You couldn't possibly treat someone based on a diagnosis because then you've missed most of the story." - Rachelle Heinemann
