The Honeymoon Phase Of An Eating Disorder Recovery Talk

    • Sănătate mintală

Today we talk about a phenomena amongst people with ED's where the initial stages of the disorder actually wasn't that bad. Instead, they'd might have felt excited, elevated and/or experienced external validation. I call this the "honeymoon phase". As a result, many hold on to the ED trying to chase that initial high, or hoping the honeymoon phase will return. It won't. In today's episode I explain why, and the parallels between an ED and an unhealthy relationship.
