Back to Basics (4/4): The Process of Recovery
Episode description
The fourth and final in our Back to Basics Series (following a set list of: (1)Do I Have a Problem? (2)How Did I Get Here? and (3)A Recovery Toolbox). This episode looks at what recovery looks like from a process perspective. How does it actually look as you go along?
- How long does it take to recover?
- Stef's Tetris analogy -- what if you've been working on recovery forever and your behaviors don't change?
- Where do the feelings of discomfort (hopelessness, despair, insecurity, anxiety, depression) go when food is not the outlet? What happens to them in recovery?
- The Whack-a-Mole phenomenon
- What if you feel hopeless a lot?
- How do you know if you're ready to recovery? How do you become ready?
- Does it matter what age you are when you recover?
- Can you focus too much on recovery?
- Sarah's theory of "State A and State B"
- The Dahlia; nature's instinct to expand and contract
- Trauma and recovery
