Perfectionism in Recovery

Perfectionism in Eating Disorder Recovery

Perfectionism shows up in many forms during eating disorder recovery and often, it doesn’t disappear when behaviours change. Instead, it can quietly shift shape, moving from food and behaviours to how recovery is done.

In this episode, we explore how perfectionism can keep recovery feeling delayed, conditional, or “never quite enough,” and why real recovery is often far messier, slower, and more uneven than we expect.
