- Mental Health
In this episode, I am joined by Monika Ostroff, LICSW, CEDS-S, and Executive Director of Multi-Service Eating Disorders Association Inc (MEDA). Nationally recognized for her 25+ years of experience and contributions to the field of eating disorders, Monika has directed several successful residential, partial hospital, and intensive outpatient eating disorder programs in addition to having owned a thriving private practice. Monika’s passion for treating eating disorders and mentoring other professionals was borne out of her own struggle and full recovery from what today is known as Severe and Enduring Anorexia Nervosa.
TOPICS DISCUSSED:
• How the recovery journey looks different for everyone.
• Recovering when professionals label you as “chronic.”
• How compassion, respect, and empowerment can elicit change.
• Connecting back to one’s innate, inner wisdom.
• The need for inclusivity, access, and equality within healthcare.
• Being seen as a human, not a diagnosis.
• Finding your voice is your key to recovery.
• How eating disorders can serve as a “resource” when no other “resources” aren’t available.
