Eating Disorder Recovery and Trusting Dreams

If you have an eating disorder you may not know who to listen to, who to trust, what to believe, what even to hope for. Yet you carry within you the source of your most effective guidance that comes from your authentic truth – your dreams.

What is the value of writing down our dreams?

"Keeping a written record of your dreas is often part of eating disorder recovery work.  We do it dutifully, resentfully, awkwardly, enthusiastically.  We forget to do it.  We can't do it because, "we can't remember our dreams."  We are embarrassed to do it because the dreams are embarrassing.  Or we refuse to do it because the dreams are frightening.  Why do we need to do it at all?
