The world tells us that worth is something to prove. But healing is not a reward for suffering.

You don’t have to restrict, punish, or control your way into being deserving. You already are.

Recovery is choosing to believe: I am worthy of nourishment, rest, and peace, simply because I am alive.

Join us virtually TOMORROW, December 12th from 12-1 p.m. ET for Networking with a Purpose, "Feeling Torn: Meeting Ambivalence with Curiosity and Compassion" presented by The Renfrew Center's Director of Clinical Outreach and Education, Samantha DeCaro, PsyD.

Ambivalence is a natural part of eating disorder recovery, yet it can leave both clients and providers feeling stuck. In this talk, attendees will gain the tools needed to approach ambivalence with compassion, curiosity, and confidence. Drawing from The Renfrew Center’s Unified Treatment Model, Dr. DeCaro will share evidence-based strategies to help your clients clarify their values, find their own motivation for change, and take meaningful steps toward recovery. Through relatable examples and concrete interventions, participants will discover ways to strengthen connection, foster trust, and gently guide clients from uncertainty to clarity and action.

Some days you’ll feel momentum. Other days you’ll feel stuck. Both are part of healing.

Progress doesn’t mean never struggling again. Progress means continuing, even when it’s hard.

Recovery isn’t about perfection. It’s about persistence. It’s about showing up, one step at a time.
