Manage episode 505308786 series 3669719
Welcome back to the Bite by Bite Podcast.
Sometimes relapse is part of the process - and that’s okay because we can learn from it. In today’s episode, Kait shares the story of her two very different experiences with eating disorder recovery. The first time, formal treatment. The second time, messy but honest.
Through this conversation, Kait explores what eating disorder recovery really asks of us, why relapse isn't failure, and how to stop performing healing and start truly doing the work.
