Discovering the Ideal Support System for Eating Disorder Recovery

Recovery equates to transforming your lifestyle, so it’s imperative to connect with a committed accountability partner or support group that has the experience and tools needed to guide you. 

In this episode, Deena recalls the most impactful support she received during and post-treatment, serving as a reminder that you're never alone on your journey to recovery.   

In this episode, you also hear: 

• Finding an appropriate accountability partner 
• Suggestions for working with a sponsor   
• Embracing what you feel and sharing it with others 

Must-listen moments:  

[00:04:47] An accountability partner can be whoever you feel like you trust and will keep you on that path. 

[00:06:22] You want somebody strong that's lived your experience and can give you good sound advice and support. 

[00:12:40] I think it's trying to understand where each other is, and being empathetic because I think if we don't communicate it, we assume other things and they're usually not true.
