World Kindness Day reminds us that kindness begins with ourselves. For anyone navigating an eating disorder, harsh self-criticism can make recovery harder. Practicing self-compassion, acknowledging your efforts, forgiving setbacks, and celebrating small wins is essential to healing.

Recovery isn’t linear. Some days will feel harder than others, but treating yourself with patience and understanding helps strengthen resilience and encourages long-term growth.

At EDCare, we support teens and adults in learning self-kindness as part of a holistic approach to recovery. Whether it’s through therapy, nutrition support, or family engagement, cultivating compassion for yourself can be transformative.

Take a moment this to honor your courage, progress, and commitment to healing.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches balance, the space where logic and emotion meet to guide you toward your “Wise Mind.”

In eating disorder recovery, it’s easy to swing between emotional overwhelm and rigid thinking. DBT helps you notice those extremes and respond with mindfulness, compassion, and skill. By strengthening emotional regulation and distress tolerance, DBT empowers you to manage urges, communicate needs, and move through life with more balance.

At EDCare, DBT tools are used daily to help clients find calm in chaos and connect with their inner wisdom. Learn how DBT supports recovery: https://eatingdisorder.care/treatment-modalities/

Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) isn’t about body image, it’s about fear, discomfort, or lack of interest in food. It can impact nutrition, social life, and emotional wellbeing.

ARFID is a real and valid eating disorder, and recovery is possible with the right support.
At EDCare, we provide evidence-based treatment for all eating disorder diagnoses. Learn more about our approach and treatment options: www.eatingdisorder.care

Journaling can be a powerful tool in eating disorder recovery, helping you explore emotions, notice patterns, and reconnect with your values. This season, try using prompts that ground you in gratitude, growth, and self-awareness. Whether you’re reflecting on progress or simply naming what you feel, journaling offers space to meet yourself with curiosity instead of judgment.

EDCare encourages self-reflection as a key part of recovery. Discover more tools and support at www.eatingdisorder.care

Mindset matters. How we think shapes how we feel and act. Recovery isn’t just about food or behavior change, it’s about transforming the inner dialogue, too.

Gratitude isn’t just a feeling, it’s a practice you can bring into your everyday life. How we speak to ourselves matters, especially in recovery from an eating disorder. Try taking a moment each day to notice something you are grateful for, even if it feels small. Appreciating your effort, your body, or a small victory can shift your mindset and support your recovery journey.

Children’s Hospital Colorado is reporting a sharp increase in youth eating disorder cases. More teens are struggling, and early intervention matters. If you notice changes in eating habits, mood, or social withdrawal, reach out for support. Compassionate, timely care can make all the difference.

Children's Hospital Colorado reports a 73% rise in patients who used its Eating Disorders Program over the last year. Clinicians also say younger teens, 13 to 15, are showing up more often.

Don’t forget to set your clocks back!

As daylight savings ends, it provides an invitation to rest, reflect, and slow down. Just as the seasons shift, our bodies and minds adjust too. It’s okay to honor your natural rhythm, get more rest, and recharge your energy.

Change, even something as small as a time shift, can affect how we feel. Give yourself extra patience and care as you settle into the new season.

Take time to reset and if you need support finding balance this fall, EDCare is here to help.
