Testimonials

• Eating disorders are a lifetime struggle and I strongly believe in building and maintaining a strong positive support system. I am so thankful for the BridgePoint programs for planting the seed of self-acceptance that I needed at that time to begin my road to recovery.

• I trust everyone and the confidentiality and the trust here. It's difficult at times, very emotional and it's hard dealing with a lot of feelings but it's what you have to do and it feels so better much and so supportive.

• There's no comparison to anything else I've tried and it’s a real blessing and an opportunity to be able to come here and an opportunity not to be taken lightly. It's a privilege to be here and I know that I will leave here a different person.

• I can identify the issues and accept them and be able to learn how to work with that. I think over time we can say goodbye to the eating disorder. There is freedom at the end of the tunnel, but it takes work.

• It's not about being broken and getting fixed, it's that we are all individuals who have pain and we're learning how to cope in a very healthy way.

• The fact that BridgePoint operates so differently than the traditional medical model was very refreshing, and proved to be vital to my experience and healing.

• Being at Bridgepoint opened space for clarity – changing the narrative from where I believed my power derived from: Eating Disorder to Authenticity. The Team offered a new perspective, and I allowed myself to trust the process and trust myself.  Decades of attempts followed by disappointment, blaming my body for letting me down, and all the while, my disordered eating patterns were controlling my decisions.

  It's been six weeks since arriving home, with ongoing support offered to me, reinforcing all the tools I was introduced to while being there.  My gratitude runs deep and my body trust gets stronger every day.
