“On a day
when the wind is perfect,
the sail just needs to open and the world is full of beauty.
Today is such a day.”
– Rumi

Relapse rates for eating disorders have been reported as high as 44% one year after treatment (Carter et al., 2004). Many patients who achieve initial recovery in inpatient or residential treatment are unable to maintain recovery when they step down to outpatient therapy. Definitions of relapse and recovery in eating disorders are often ambiguous, which may actually exacerbate relapse behaviors in patients. Historically, the majority of relapse prevention techniques for eating disorders have been Cognitive Behavioral in nature (Fairburn, 2008). More recently, therapists have reported anecdotal success with other techniques for relapse prevention, including experiential exercises, family interventions, and techniques from the addictions field. This presentation will include a discussion of definitions of relapse and recovery in eating disorders. Predictors of relapse will be reviewed, including comorbid diagnoses, severe body dissatisfaction, family conflict, and slow rate of weight gain. The majority of the presentation will consist of training in interactive exercises for relapse prevention for groups and individual therapy. Case examples utilizing innovative exercises will be presented, including a videotaped segment illustrating the use of a relapse prevention exercise in action.

Thank you. This is very useful
Thanks for sharing. Relapse is a common problem among patients. Increasing the level of motivation to recover during acute treatment may have a more important impact on long-term outcome than the initial level of motivation.
Relapsing back into eating-disordered behavior is a huge problem. all too often patients are considered recovered because their behaviors are no longer disordered, yet they still score low on tests of body image and self-esteem. And that makes them vulnerable to returning to extreme diets, laxatives or excessive exercise when stress hits
I agree. Once you beat the habit and problem of an eating disorder, you need to stay on track and the easiest way to do that is by surrounding yourself with strong people!
Some good points for recovery. This course hits on some vague highlights of recovery that could be helpful for those who have dealt with an eating disorder or relapse in eating disorders
“Recover your life and achieve your dreams because, in essence, recovery is not about the illness that *was,* it’s about the life that *is.*
Focusing on how to stay healthy after recovery from an eating disorder….Anyone trying to stay on a healthful track after completing treatment for eating disorders can find helpful words of advice in this course
I think that you do a good job to bring recognition to this problem. Also, I hope there is success with this event. Thanks for sharing!
your use of inspiring quotes and educated articles goes really well together
I’ve dealt with an eating disorder and it is a challenge to get through. The recovery process can be a pain to deal with, but once you get through that stage in life, it gets a lot easier.
