Eating disorder recovery is tough.

It’s super tough.

It’s hard on the person trying to get well (or knowing they should!) and it’s equally hard on those who love that individual and want to do the best they can to support.

In today’s episode, Debbie talks to Sarah Parker about the challenge of choosing recovery, and about how you support someone through recovery – while possibly knowing that the person in question is finding it really hard to ‘show up’ for themselves.

We touch on the concept in Mel Robbins’ book ‘Let Them’ which suggests that sometimes we can try to hard to help others ‘catch the ball’ or recover for themselves, and that sometimes we have to be brave enough to let them learn and let them conclude their recovery and their fear is a journey worth travelling.

We’d love to hear your experiences of this scenario, so please do get in touch with us.
