Understanding Eating Disorder Recovery

Eating disorder recovery takes time, commitment and professional help. It is a process of both psychological and physical healing. But what exactly does eating disorder recovery mean? While many professionals are divided on its true definition, the two most agreed upon explanations are:

1. Eating disorder recovery is a complete abstinence from eating disorder behavior and disordered eating.
2. Eating disorder recovery is determined by the person's ability to quickly recover from a lapse or relapse in their recovery process.

In either case, it is important to choose a center that best supports your concept of recovery. An individual who believes in their eating disorder treatment is better able to manage their post treatment, leading to a more sustainable eating disorder recovery.

Eating Disorder Recovery - A Holistic Approach

Since a very important component of an eating disorder is psychological in nature, many seek holistic help to improve the overall quality of their life. Holistic treatment combines all of the teachings of conventional medicine and therapy and integrates them with alternative health care and its accompanying disciplines.

Holistic eating disorder recovery refers to the treatment of the individual's mind, body and spirit, or the treatment of the" whole person."

Maintaining Eating Disorder Recovery

Eating disorder recovery is a life-long process taken one day at a time. Those recovering from an eating disorder require ongoing support. This support takes on many different forms depending upon the individual and their treatment philosophy. Some individuals rely upon individual and/or group therapy, while others attend support groups provided at their treatment center. Either option is usually done in tandem with a 12 step support group.
