Relapse prevention is a part of the recovery process in eating disorders, which means there are certain things we need to manage to not fall back into old behaviour. However, eating disorders are non-linear and can feel quite challenging from time to time. You may even experience relapse.

This can be a scary place, especially if you feel like it came out of nowhere. It may be the first and only time you relapse in your life, or perhaps this has happened a few times for you and you’re feeling lost and confused.

Regardless of what got you here, the important thing is that you are here – simply by listening to this episode you are taking initiative to try come out of a potentially very dark place – I celebrate you for that.

In this episode I take you through practical steps that have helped me in times of relapse, and that I teach the clients I work with as a peer recovery specialist coach. I hope that it helps you start taking steps in your recovery and that you can apply these tools. I guarantee that if you practice each one of these steps, you are going to significantly increase your chances of getting back on track.
