Climbing toward recovery
We often use the analogy of climbing a steep mountain for eating disorder recovery. Dr. Lock of Stanford refers to a sand hill.
But did you know there is a literal Anorexia to climb, and then, should you still have the energy, you can scale Nervosa.
I liken it to climbing Sagarmatha or Mt Everest, or should that be Never-rest. The prepartion, aclimatisation and the shear physical grind to be rewarded at the summit by a view of the world.
