The Crucial Difference Between Treating the Eating Disorder and Treating the Trigger

In this podcast I explain the crucial difference between treating the trigger vs treating the eating disorder. For any person in recovery from an eating disorder or any person who is helping a sufferer recover this is a concept that you will really have to grasp in order to decide on the most effective form of treatment. Triggers are separate from the eating disorder and should be treated separately Weight restoration should be the priority in people who are underweight Treating triggers is important but not as important as weight restoration Once weight restored trigger issues are easier to treat due to the patients increased physical and mental resources. If you are an adult in recovery or a parent/partner of an adult in recovery please remember that I have a peer support Slack group for you to join if you are looking for more support. You can find out more here. We want your feedback!
