Practical Tips and Tools

There’s no quick fix for recovery – but there are tools that can help ease those overwhelming moments. Today, we’re exploring practical techniques that can make a difference, drawing on our own experiences as eating disorder recovery coaches. 

We talk about what coaching is, how it differs from therapy, and how it can complement other forms of support. From metaphors and mantras to transitional objects and time-hopping, we hope you find that some of these strategies bridge the gap between awareness and action – and help you stay grounded in your bigger picture when things feel tough.

Topics covered:

·      Coaching, therapy, and how they can work together

·      On building a toolkit for recovery

·      Transitional objects: what they are and how to use them

·      Using metaphors and analogies

·      Time-hopping – using milestones and memories

·      It's okay to be repetitive! The power of reiteration

·      “Bucketing” your actions 

·      The concept of the shield: protecting your recovery

·      Shining the spotlight
