BridgePoint Center for Eating Disorder Recovery

BridgePoint Center for Eating Disorder Recovery BridgePoint provides free program options that include intensive discovery, recovery and healing for The program is holistic in approach.

The perspective at BridgePoint is that eating disorders are coping mechanisms that also present a very serious health risk. They replace healthy ways of dealing with issues related to stressful and traumatic life experience and personal conflicts. Persons with eating disorders often disassociate from their feelings and consequently do not have a clear sense of self. In the recovery process, the person with an eating disorder develops an understanding of the issues underlying the eating disorder and how the eating disorder is related to unexpressed feelings and personal pain. The transition to better ways of coping with life stresses and healthier living is normally a lengthy and highly individualized process that requires continual self-discovery. The role of BridgePoint is to support self-discovery, as well as skill building, in the transition from letting go of old, unhealthy life patterns to discovering a variety of new and healthy choices in how to respond to the challenges of life. This support is provided in a program with three sequential modules that symbolize the process of building a bridge to recovery.

Vulnerability isn’t about being fearless. It’s about feeling the fear and showing up anyway.

In recovery, it might look like…
✨Saying “I need help”
✨Eating a fear food
✨Being honest about what hurts
✨Letting someone truly see you

These moments can feel tender, raw, even terrifying. But they are also acts of deep courage.

And you don’t have to do them all at once. Remember the 1%! Just one small step at a time.

Register now for our summer Caregiver's Workshop! Supporting Your Loved One with Eating Disorder Recovery is an online workshop happening on Friday, July 18th from 9am-4:30pm and is free for residents of Saskatchewan.

Through the lens of Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), BridgePoint offers support for caregivers that is rooted in a deep belief in the healing power of community. The model provides parents and other caregivers with the tools to restore connection in their relationship with their loved one and feel more empowered when faced with tough situations. In this workshop, caregivers are supported to identify, work through, and overcome many obstacles that surface through the journey of emotional and behavioural change.

Participants will learn practical skills to strengthen relationships, increase cooperation, and respond to strong emotional reactions including expressions of worry, anger, hopelessness, and even silence. Parents and caregivers will gain skills to navigate and guide their loved ones experiencing big feelings, emotional dysregulation, and/or mental health issues.

Grounding is not about fixing. It’s about anchoring.

When we feel flooded, by urges, shame, fear, or strong body sensations, it’s easy to leave the present moment. Our nervous system might dissociate, numb out, or rev up into panic. This is a resilient and adaptive response. It’s your body trying to protect you.

Grounding gently helps us come back into connection, with our breath, with what is here.

Here are 3 grounding practices you can try today:
1️⃣ 5-4-3-2-1: Name 5 things you can see, 4 you can touch, 3 you can hear, 2 you can smell, 1 you can taste.

2️⃣ Drink a hot beverage: Really notice how it feels to hold the mug in your hand, the steam rising off, the smell and the taste.

3️⃣ Rooted: Place your feet firmly on the floor and imagine there are roots extending from your feet into the ground, you are safely grounded in this spot.
You don’t have to feel “better.” Just a little more present.

What grounding tools work best for you? Let us know in the comments!

July is Disability Pride Month, a time to celebrate people who live with disabilities, challenge ableism and recognize the brilliance of disabled communities.

In eating disorder recovery spaces, disabilities can be misunderstood. But many folks navigating recovery live with disabilities, chronic illnesses, or neurodivergence, and their experiences matter.

Disability Pride reminds us:
· Recovery doesn’t have to be linear
· Rest and accommodation are not signs of failure
· “Health” and “healing” are not one-size-fits-all
· You don’t need to earn your right to recovery by conforming to able-bodied norms

If you identify as disabled, neurodivergent, chronically ill, or live with pain or fatigue, your voice belongs here! Your body doesn’t need to be “fixed” in order to be worthy of care.

Let’s keep challenging the systems that tell us otherwise.
