Getting Un-stuck From Quasi Recovery

In this episode, we dive into the tricky area of quasi recovery — that in-between place where you might have taken steps toward healing from an eating disorder, but still find yourself holding onto certain rules, fears, or safety nets that keep them from full freedom. We’ll unpack what quasi recovery looks like, why it can feel so comfortable (yet so limiting), and how to recognise if you’re stuck there yourself. We’ll also explore practical ways to move beyond it, so you can experience the full, vibrant recovery you truly deserve.


Topics covered

- Our experiences of quasi recovery

- What kept us trapped

- What helped us to move beyond & fully recover

- Eating disorders & identity

- Filling the ‘void’ after the ED goes

- Weight targets

- Wanting to recover ‘perfectly’
