Debbie is joined by Sarah Parker, eating disorders therapist, to discuss the ‘all in’ route to recovery.

Many people elect to consider ‘all in’ as a way of more speedily exiting the world of an eating disorder, but not everyone finds it to be an approach they can manage.

It certain is a pathway which requires a great deal of contemplation, support from others, and some robust medical observation at points in the journey.

In this episode, Sarah kindly shares not only her therapy insights, but her own personal experience of having opted to go ‘all in’.

She talks openly about why it’s so important to be ready for the conflict between speedier weight restoration, vs the longer journey toward complete healthy cognition.

If you are considering ‘all in’, remember that your unique eating disorder circumstances will inform whether this is right for you, and what approach you might want to take.

We would always encourage anyone adopting this route to have a good support tribe around them as they go through the process, but also that you have a practice nurse or GP on side to help observe bloods and other vitals – preventing any adverse implications as you restore weight.

Please do let us know if you’ve tried ‘all in’ and how it worked for you.
