Liv Label Free | Neurodivergent Eating Disorder Recovery

The Recovery Trap: How “All In” Keeps You Stuck


Listen Later

The term "all in recovery" has gained traction in eating disorder spaces, but does it really lead to true freedom? In this episode, Livia Sara unpacks the origins, misconceptions, and limitations of the all in approach. Through the lens of her own recovery journey, she explores how labels like "all in" or "in recovery" can keep us stuck in cycles of black-and-white thinking and perpetuate the eating disorder identity.

You’ll learn:

  • The origins of the "all in" approach and its focus on hypothalamic amenorrhea
  • Why "all in recovery" can perpetuate black-and-white thinking
  • The connection between autism, eating disorders, and rigid recovery methods
  • How the recovery identity can become its own trap
  • Replacing recovery with discovery: a shift toward possibility
  • Living without labels: how freedom lies in embracing who you are
  • This episode challenges conventional recovery wisdom and invites you to move beyond restrictive labels, empowering you to discover a life where you can truly live label free.
