"To all my friends on a recovery path, you too have an opportunity to understand your life through a healing and empowering lens.

"Degree by degree, we change our endings. With time and patience and an unending fight, we build our new harbors and tether ourselves and our ships to a life we have never before known."

What does it mean to "treat" an eating disorder? What does it mean to "heal" from one? Inspired by conversations with my yoga therapy clients, here I explore the difference between "treating" and "healing" and why we need both in our recovery journeys.
