Q and A with Carolyn Costin

This week, we’re so excited to be joined by Carolyn Costin: founder of the first US residential ED treatment centre, Monte Nido, author, and President of the Carolyn Costin Institute (CCI).

Carolyn played a direct role in training both of us as recovery coaches, and her work — particularly her books and 8 Keys to Recovery framework — continues to shape how we support with clients today.

We sat down with her to explore some of the questions that come up time and time again in recovery. From rebuilding identity to defining what “full recovery” actually looks like, Carolyn shares insights drawn from decades of coaching (and personal) experience, alongside tools for both those in recovery — and the people who walk alongside them.

Topics covered:

* Carolyn’s perspective on the role of coaching in recovery

* Rebuilding identity, purpose, and joy

* What “full recovery” can look like in real life

* Why discomfort is such a central part of recovery

* The 8 Keys and how to apply them

* Tools and exercises that support change

* Touching on ARFID and its place within recovery
