Embracing the Journey: Fostering Acceptance and Belonging in Eating Disorder Recovery

In this webinar, we discuss the journey to healing from trauma and childhood adversity. This journey is not something that can be prescribed by anyone, as each individual’s path is different. Learn about guides to help an individual reintegrate the parts of themselves they have shunned, the image of their body that has been perverted by society, and the dreams and desires that may have been thrown to the wayside.
