Investing in Yourself with Carolyn Costin, MA, MeD, LMFT, CEDS, FAED Recovery Bites

In this episode, I am joined by world renowned, highly sought-after eating disorder clinician, author, and international speaker, Carolyn Costin, MA, MeD, LMFT, CEDS, FAED. Recovered from anorexia herself, Carolyn was first to publicly take the position that people with eating disorders can become fully recovered. Carolyn’s extensive contributions to the field include six books, the most popular being, “8 Keys to Recovery From an Eating Disorder.” Carolyn launched The Carolyn Costin Institute in 2016 where she offers training and certification of eating disorder coaches. Carolyn is an active, passionate, inspiring force in the eating disorder field.

TOPICS DISCUSSED:
• The different ways in which a recovery coach can help clients who are struggling in “real time”
• Reentering the world post-COVID-19 and challenging new rituals learned in the pandemic
• Acceptance versus resistance theory as a way to tolerate negative feelings and thoughts and align one’s behaviors with their values
• Reflecting on how trauma and the messages created can exist throughout time

• Deciphering if a behavior is a result of a trigger or a habitual practice as a means to best determine appropriate coping skills
• How transitional object attachments can be a healthy mechanism that serves as a bridge between one’s inner and outer worlds
