by Karin Lewis, MA, LMFT, CEDS

IN THIS EPISODE:

In this episode, I am joined by Caryn Raba, a recovered eating disorder recovery coach, and substance abuse counselor. Working in the eating disorder field independently for over 3 years, Caryn's work as an eating disorder recovery coach has taken her all over the world both physically and through fostering virtual connections.


SOME OF THE TOPICS DISCUSSED:

  • Working in the “here and now” by openly addressing eating disorder behaviors and how they affect individuals.

  • The bravery and courage needed to allow a recovery coach into your home.

  • How restriction can often be the driving force and/or precursor for bingeing and purging.

  • Evaluating the intentions behind movement and exercise.

  • How the eating disorder manipulates honest people to dishonest acts, such as stealing food.

  • The importance of reaching out to someone who can hold and validate one’s struggle.

  • Facing challenges and struggles with coping skills.

  • How the eating disorder and recovery process teaches and allows one to be in the world.

ABOUT CARYN RABA:

Caryn is a Certified Eating Disorder Coach with the Carolyn Costin Institute and works independently and with Recovered Living as one of their eating disorder recovery coaches.

Caryn knows the importance of meeting a client where they are at, yet encouraging them to challenge themselves, as that is what was so important in her own recovery. She believes that strong, supportive relationships are key to getting better and the only people who don’t recover, are the ones who stop trying.
