RCS 4: eating disorder recovery’s most underrated tool with Eric Pothen

Welcome back to the Recovery Companion Series. 🎉

In this episode, Kait and Eric break down one of the most powerful tools in eating disorder recovery coaching: real-time text support. They explore how recovery doesn’t happen in a session, it happens in the real-life moments when urges hit and support is needed most. They dive into how text support helps clients navigate those moments without feeling alone, while also building self-trust and independence. This conversation highlights the balance between support and autonomy, and why learning to reach out can be a game changer in recovery.

Episode takeaways:

Recovery happens in real time, not just during scheduled sessions
Text support removes the delay between struggle and support
You can’t plan for every trigger, support needs to be flexible and accessible
Reaching out is a skill, not something that comes naturally to everyone
Coaches should guide, not give answers, to build self-trust
There’s a fine line between support and dependency, and both matter
Naming the eating disorder in the moment helps create separation from it
Mistakes in recovery are not failures, they are necessary learning points
Text threads can become a toolbox clients can revisit and reuse
The ultimate goal is autonomy: support now → self-trust later
