On today’s episode we discuss my eating disorder recovery, and how it is looking for me. During my struggles over the years, I often wanted to speak to someone who can help me navigate the difficulties of recovery and alleviate my anxiety that if recovery wasn’t a smooth transition from sufferer to cured, I was getting it wrong. This episode aims to dispel this assumption and offer hope to others.
