"How will I know when I have fully recovered?" This is a question many of my clients in eating disorder (ED) recovery ask. And the answer is multi-faceted.
As a teacher and student of ancient systems for comprehending the patterns in nature and applying them to our own healing processes, I offer these aspects of ED recovery through a 5-element lens. This approach is founded in the wisdom of both Ayurveda (the ancient medicine system of India) and Chinese medicine. I've written other articles on how these systems can support (or if used incorrectly, hinder) your intuitive eating journey here and here.
