What happens when recovery asks us to trust a body that has changed? What happens when recovery asks someone to trust a body that feels unpredictable, painful, or fundamentally changed? For many individuals living with chronic illness, disability, or the aftermath of complex medical procedures, recovery from an eating disorder does not follow a clear or linear path. The body may not behave the way it once did—or the way we expect it to. Pain, medical trauma, and ongoing health uncertainty can complicate body image, food relationships, and the very idea of “healing.” This keynote explores the often-unspoken intersection of eating disorders, chronic illness, and medical trauma. Through both clinical insight and lived experience, Tamie Gangloff invites audiences to reconsider traditional recovery narratives and examine what it means to rebuild body trust when there is no clear finish line. Participants will explore how grief, identity shifts, and trauma responses shape recovery, and how clinicians can support resilience, compassion, and sustainable healing in individuals navigating complex medical realities.
