Eating Disorder Recovery In Seattle, Washington
- Jessica Illustration via Etsy.com
When preparing our clients to transition from our step down
facility, Patrice House back to their homes we help them carve out a recovery
maintenance plan. One of the resources we suggest our clients reach out to is Overeaters
Anonymous (OA.) OA is a fantastic, long standing, reputable support group for
various eating disorders (including anorexia, bulimia and compulsive over
eating.) Meetings in OA vary from area to area, but the advantage of a support
group in Overeaters Anonymous is the focus the groups have on the physical,
mental and spiritual restoration of its members. As well as the flexibility to
create a group that best serves the needs of it’s members. For instance, if a
group comes together and would like to make a 2 hour meeting a 1 hour meeting
to better serve it’s population it can do that. As well, if a meeting has a
predominant amount of Anorexics and Bulimics it can also change the meeting to
best serve that population. Of course
all changes to meeting formats must be abiding by the the 12 traditions of OA.
Currently, we have quite a few clients who are from the
Seattle area and will soon be retuning home. If you live in the Seattle, WA
area there is a variety of meeting available to you:
