Spirituality
We believe that eating disorders of all kinds are symptoms of an underlying disconnect from the soul. After living in the obsession of an eating disorder, many women believe the damaging and critical thoughts in their heads. As our residents progress through the program they come to realize that these obsessions are sign posts directing them to a deeper spiritual connection of their choice. In the word ’spirituality’ lie two important roots: the Latin word spiritus, which means ‘breath’ or ‘the breath of life,’ and the modern word ‘ritual.’ At Hope Grows we instill the rituals that deepen our residents’ understanding and connectedness to their spirits, or to their ‘breath of life.’ This connectedness is the taproot to healing, and the foundation to a lifetime of recovery.
