Eating disorder recovery is a complicated and non-linear process. I believe that eating disorders are an addiction. Because our society is so heavily saturated in diet culture and we have to engage with food, exercise and our bodies constantly— this process can feel impossible. This class explores how plants can be supportive allies in mental and physical healing. This is a non-abstinence approach to managing recovery and flare ups as they happen using herbs, essences and emotional work. Treatment is not accessible for so many people, so how can we lean into herbs and other tools while healing? We’ll be talking about harm reduction, coping skills, physical and emotional healing as well as how to advocate for yourself and your needs in support of recovery! This class is relevant for folks supporting others in recovery as well as those in recovery themselves.
