Join us as we explore what it means to try to hack eating disorder recovery. We look at the subtle and not-so-subltle ways we try to bypass the healing process and how this is a part of the grief process of losing an eating disorder.

We share common examples of what hacking recovery can look like, including the ways we tried to hack our own recoveries. We talk in depth about why hacking attempts leads to stuckness. Most importantly, we discuss what meaningful recovery requires and why surrender is often the turning point bringing our path out of an eating disorder into focus.
