Beauty of Letting Go: Transforming Through Change

Even without an eating disorder or addiction, implementing a change to your lifestyle can be extremely difficult. Achieving change demands years of dedication, consistent daily choices, and a robust support system. 

In this episode, Deena and Brian address barriers to creating lasting change and why long-term care is crucial for sustainable recovery.  

In this episode, you also hear: 

• Emotional struggle behind change 
• Small steps to begin letting go    
• Details about Center for Discovery Treatment Centers    

 

Must-listen moments:  

[00:05:38] There's underlying causes that keep us in that perpetual loop of ‘I'm not going to change because I fear change, and I just keep going round and round in this cycle’, and that's where long term treatment helps us break that cycle and get us to a healthy place. 

[00:16:09] When we talk about change. It's over time. It's only with a great deal of struggle that that change occurs. And when that change occurs, I think it's important for people on the outside to realize that it's not black, white, it's not on, off— it's a degree of gray. 

[00:17:58] Maybe you can just let go of something like that…I'm not saying do all this in one day…Maybe you can be more flexible by releasing some of the rigidity and the rules that you put up in front of you and the inflexibility of your daily routine.
