Letting go doesn't mean we erase the past; it means we take back control of our lives. ❤️

Healing is about releasing the grip of the past and moving forward with strength and resilience. Let your scars remind you of your strength, not your weaknesses. ✨

Recovery can be a whirlwind of emotions, many of which are confusing. Eating disorder treatment is a journey that may involve highs and lows. It's important to recognize that these mixed feelings are part of the healing process. 🦋

Never forget that your feelings, emotions, and thoughts are valid and deserve to be treated as such. 💙 ✨

As the new year begins, remember that healing isn’t a race. In recovery, your direction matters far more than how fast you move. Each step forward, taken with care and intention, is meaningful. ✨

As we step into the new year, take a moment to pause and reflect on how far you have already come. ✨

Remember, that a new year does not mean that you need to reinvent yourself, set unrealistic goals, or change who you are.

You are already worthy of love, support, and grace exactly as you are. 💙

The best gifts don’t always come in a box. 🎁

This year, trade the hustle for a different kind of list, one that focuses on how you feel rather than what you have.

Whether it’s a moment of stillness or the courage to say "no," give yourself the grace you so freely give to others. Which of these is at the top of your list? ✨

The holidays can bring a lot of pressure, especially if you're navigating recovery from an eating disorder or disordered eating.

While this time of year can feel overwhelming, a little preparation and the right support can make a meaningful difference. If you’re not feeling festive or at ease, you’re far from alone.

Even in challenging moments, there are gentle, grounding ways to care for yourself and move through the season with compassion and steadiness.✨

"During the year, these aren't foods I'm comfortable eating yet. But during Hanukkah? I want to try."

I hear this from clients every year. The latkes. The sufganiyot. The fried foods that define the holiday.

And here's what makes this moment different:
→ It's about participation, not perfection
→ It's about modeling for their children
→ It's about accessing the joy of tradition
→ It's about finding meaning in the holiday
Recovery isn't about avoiding challenging foods forever. It's about choosing when and how to challenge them in ways that align with your values.
This Hanukkah, if you're facing foods that feel hard:

You're not alone in that struggle
Your "why" matters more than the food itself
Wanting to participate IS recovery work
The meaning you create is yours to define

Happy Hanukkah to all celebrating. May your light continue to grow brighter. 🕎

In recovery, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed by the idea of releasing the identity, routines, or sense of control your eating disorder created. Starting treatment can feel like pressing pause on your life—and that can make letting go even harder.⁠

But even if it feels familiar or “safe,” holding on to your eating disorder keeps you from the life waiting for you—the one filled with healing, freedom, and real joy. 🌈⁠

Recovery calls for courage: the courage to loosen the eating disorder’s grip and trust the process of becoming whole again. You’re not losing who you are—you’re uncovering your true, vibrant, authentic self beneath the struggle. 💙 ✨

The voice that screams at you, undermines your progress, makes you question every step forward — it's not telling you the truth.

Recovery isn't about silencing that critic perfectly every time. It's about learning to recognize when it shows up, and gently challenging those thoughts instead of believing them automatically.

The relationship you build with that inner voice? That's where real change happens.
Recovery takes effort. It takes patient awareness. And it's never about perfection — it's about progress, one moment at a time.

Drop a 💚 if you needed to hear this today.

Did you know that most eating disorder research and treatment guidelines were developed with only female patients in mind? As a student, I saw firsthand how this gap in knowledge affected real patient outcomes. We need more awareness, more research, and better care for male patients struggling with eating disorders.

Well-meaning? Absolutely. Helpful for someone with an eating disorder? Not always.

Even compliments about clothing can put unwanted focus on their body when they're working hard to stay neutral and avoid body-checking. That spotlight you just shined? It might trigger exactly what they were trying to avoid.

So what DO you say instead? Start by asking what's actually helpful to THEM. Then understand the why behind it.

Supporting someone with an eating disorder isn't about having perfect words—it's about being willing to learn what truly helps vs. what unintentionally harms.
