Courtney Grimes: From Trauma to Triumph in Eating Disorder Recovery

You're only one decision away from a completely different life.
Courtney Grimes, a psychotherapist and advocate for recovery, opens up about her deeply personal journey through trauma and process addiction. Growing up in a family marked by her father's rage and her mother's codependency, Courtney sought solace in perfectionism, which eventually led to a devastating process addiction. In this episode of 'Rooted Recovery Stories', she shares how hitting rock bottom became the turning point for her transformation.
With the support of others and a relentless drive to heal, Courtney not only overcame her eating disorders but also founded treatment programs that have since helped countless individuals. As the Clinical Director for Renewed, a non-profit dedicated to supporting those with disordered eating, and the founder of The Collective, an extended outpatient program for anxiety and depression, Courtney’s story is a beacon of hope.
She discusses the importance of connection in recovery and how her experiences have shaped her professional path. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration and proof that recovery is possible.
