Recovery from an eating disorder is a slow process, and not something that happens overnight. Unfortunately, eating disorders don’t just disappear by themselves.
Recovery is about more than just gaining weight or breaking the binge/purge cycle. It’s about discovering why those behaviours are there and understanding where they come from, and what you can do instead. Overcoming eating disorders takes time (often over years) and involves hard work.
As those who’ve “been there” can testify, getting effective professional help is needed for lasting change. Not sure where to find help? Try our Find a Psychologist page. Want to know more about recovery? Our webinar on recovery explains more about the process.
