In this episode Millie and Olivia chat to Carolyn Costin.  They discuss the stages of change, how to navigate ambivalence in recovery, Carolyn’s Ten Phases of Eating Disorder Recovery and the importance of holding onto hope.Carolyn is a world renowned eating disorder clinician, author, and international speaker. Recovered from anorexia in her twenties, as a young therapist Carolyn recognised her calling after successfully treating her first eating disorder client. Carolyn was first to publicly take the position that people with eating disorders can become fully recovered.After 15 years in private practice and running hospital programs, Carolyn was determined to improve the relapse rate and recognised a gap in the eating disorder field. She opened Monte Nido - the first residential facility in a home setting, surrounded by nature, where evidenced based treatment was combined with alternative therapies such as meditation and yoga and clients were “retrained” to shop for, prepare and cook food. Carolyn’s contributions to the field are extensive. Her six books, service in every major eating disorder organisation, three decades of training professionals worldwide, free study groups and the outstanding success of Monte Nido all spurred Carolyn to international acclaim.In 2016 Carolyn left Monte Nido and created The Carolyn Costin Institute. The Institute offers Continuing Education for clinicians, Eating Disorder Coach Certification, Mentor Training, and Educational support for families of those with eating disorders. Follow Millie on Instagram here -@millietnz@healedrecoverycoachYou can also visit her website here -www.healed.net.auFollow Olivia on Instagram here - @uncovery.ed.coachingYou can also visit her website here -www.uncovery.com.auYou can email Millie at [email protected] and Olivia at [email protected] -Please note that although we have done our utmost to make RenourishED as inclusive as possible it’s important to remember that every individual’s eating disorder journey is unique.
