Notwithstanding the importance of these approaches, there are arguably additional considerations in ED recovery. In order to get a more comprehensive understanding of recovery, it is necessary to turn to individuals with lived experience. Here, we examine how individuals with lived experience of an ED conceptualize and define recovery in narrative, recovery\u2010focused blogs and consider how this understanding may contribute to definitions of recovery in the field.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Method<\/jats:title><jats:p>Inductive thematic analysis was used to examine 168 blogs posted by at least 120 unique authors (95% women; 36% reporting anorexia nervosa diagnosis) to 10 moderated, ED websites.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Results from the thematic analysis yielded seven themes: recovery as (1) existing in contrast to the ED, (2) existing in a broader context, (3) subjective, (4) a choice, (5) a complex, nonlinear process, (6) transformative, and (7) overcoming.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The present findings are consistent with previous qualitative research, suggesting that recovery is multifaceted and encompasses more than just symptom management. Notably, bloggers highlighted that recovery may not be equally attainable for all individuals, citing numerous social justice issues in the conceptualization of recovery. This multifaceted and intersectional view of recovery is consistent with consumer models of recovery. We argue that a dimensional model of recovery may be a good starting framework for researchers and clinicians to develop a more comprehensive definition of recovery.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/eat.23221","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,30]],"date-time":"2019-12-30T12:51:45Z","timestamp":1577710305000},"page":"1234-1243","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":46,"title":["#recovery: Understanding recovery from the lens of recovery\u2010focused blogs posted by individuals with lived experience"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"53","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2659-9408","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Therese E.","family":"Kenny","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology University of Guelph  Guelph Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sarah L.","family":"Boyle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology University of Guelph  Guelph Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stephen P.","family":"Lewis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology University of Guelph  Guelph Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","volume-title":"Recovery to practice initiative curriculum: Reframing psychology for the emerging health care environment","author":"American Psychological Association (APA) & Jansen, M.
