OUR DISCUSSION….

• Understanding the Stages of Change in recovery

• Identifying my personal roadblocks

• Learning and exploring the tools and skills needed to navigate the road to full recovery

• Owning my recovery

CONVERSATIONS OF

“RECOVERED” VERSUS “RECOVERING”

“To be recovered is absolutely possible. It is the point where you are able to integrate your intentions about recovery with consistent and sustainable recovery behaviors in order to live your chosen path of

meaning and vitality. It doesn’t mean that you won’t be challenged by life and have thoughts about your eating disorder or find yourself slipping

into an old pattern. It means that you have the awareness to recognize

when you are in that place and make the choice to do something about it that keeps you going in the direction of your vital life.”

Bonnie Brennan, MA, LPC, CEDS | Senior Clinical Director

Adult Residential and Partial Hospital Services

“I think it’s best to think of it as a vulnerability – it can become a barrier or one’s greatest strength in the face of the challenges that life throws at you. Instead of wrestling with the “recovered

or recovering” conundrum, view it as a constant mindfulness

practice for a healthy, adaptive life.”

Elizabeth Easton, PsyD | Clinical Director, Child and Adolescent Services

Be KIND to yourself!
