Recovery coaching and therapy can work well together, but they are not the same, and they serve different purposes.
Therapy addresses the root causes of an eating disorder — it focuses on the WHYs.
Recovery coaching is more practical and focuses on the HOWs: how to talk back to your eating disorder, rebuild a healthy relationship with food and exercise, and cope with emotions in a healthy way.
Coaching provides extra structure, practical tools, and accountability to support your eating disorder recovery.
