🍂 With Thanksgiving and other social gatherings coming up, we know that eating around others can bring up feelings of anxiety, discomfort, or uncertainty for those navigating an eating disorder or recovery.

If this resonates with you, you're not alone. 💙

One strategy that may help is the Cope Ahead method: a way to prepare for situations you anticipate might feel challenging.

By identifying potential stressors, planning how you might respond, and mentally rehearsing coping strategies, you can approach upcoming gatherings with a little more confidence and self-compassion.

✨ Swipe through to learn the five steps of Cope Ahead.
