For People in Eating Disorder Recovery
The Body, the Food, and the Thing Underneath
You are not your body. You are not your relationship with food. This workbook names who you are.
For the person in active eating disorder recovery who has restored physical health and is navigating identity in the absence of the behaviors.
The Name It First Experience
The eating disorder had an identity: rules, rituals, a way of measuring worth. Recovery removed that structure. This workbook builds what comes next — an identity grounded in what you value, not what you weigh or restrict. You examine who you were before the disorder, what the recovery has returned, and what you are choosing to build. The output is not a treatment plan. It is The People in Eating Disorder Recovery Identity Charter — signed, yours.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- Who are you when your relationship with food and your body is not the organizing fact of your identity?
- What are you most proud of from this work — something that is genuinely yours?
- What do you now know about what your eating disorder was trying to manage — and what helps more?
- What has your relationship with your body taught you about yourself that you are now able to hold with more compassion?
Research basis
Rance, Clarke, and Moller on eating disorder identity: eating disorder provides identity structure and recovery requires explicit identity reconstruction. Fairburn Cognitive-Behavioral Theory: eating disorder cognitions are identity cognitions that must be replaced. White narrative therapy: externalizing the eating disorder allows the person to author a separate identity. Neff self-compassion research applied to eating disorder recovery. Tedeschi Post-Traumatic Growth: identity reconstruction as the core mechanism where eating disorders co-occur with trauma.
