You CAN do this – not because the branch is sturdy, but because your wings are strong.

For individuals with perfectionistic tendencies, we know it can be incredibly difficult to practice self-compassion while experiencing ED recovery setbacks. It’s important, however, to address these challenges in a nonjudgmental way, and to ask for help when it’s needed.
