If you’re wondering what an eating disorder recovery coach (EDRC) is, then this post is for you! EDRC’s are a relatively new role in the field of eating disorder treatment. And I get it; it’s confusing. What do you do? How are you different from a therapist? Is it really necessary? So, I’m here to help clear some things up.
EDRC’s are specially trained professionals who support and guide people working to recover from disordered eating and/or eating disorders. They provide supplemental support and work alongside therapists, dieticians, doctors, etc., to help implement goals and provide support in the ‘here and now.’ As an EDRC, I’ll meet you where you’re at and walk alongside you as you move through recovery.
How Does Coaching Differ from Therapy?
One common question I get is how coaching differs from therapy. While therapy typically focuses on exploring past experiences, emotions, and underlying psychological issues, coaching is more present and future-focused. As a coach, I provide practical tools, strategies, and support to help you navigate your current challenges and work toward your recovery goals.
