RCS 6: what “trusting the process” of eating disorder recovery actually means with Eric Pothen

Welcome back to the Recovery Companion Series. 🎉

In this episode Kait and her co-host, Eric, sit down for an honest, unfiltered conversation about what trusting the process in eating disorder recovery actually means and why the phrase alone often does more harm than good.

They break down why resistance to the process is valid, how to find the parts of recovery you can actually buy into, and why showing up even when you're only 2% in still counts as progress. They also explore the all-or-nothing thinking that makes trusting the process feel impossible, and offer a reframe that makes it feel a little more human and a lot less overwhelming.

No toxic positivity. No empty reassurance. Just two recovery coaches with lived experience telling you the truth about what this process actually looks like from the inside.

Episode takeaways:

You don't have to trust all of it, find the parts you can
Resistance to the process is valid and worth naming out loud
All-or-nothing thinking makes trusting the process harder than it has to be
Showing up is proof that some part of you is already buying in
Your 100% looks different every day, and that's okay
Discomfort means you're moving toward recovery not away from it
Break it down, what does recovery look like right now, not eventually
Be where your feet are, not ten miles ahead
