She brings a powerful blend of personal experience and professional reporting to her work, offering a raw and honest look at the path to healing.Featured Book: Slip: Life in the Middle of Eating Disorder RecoveryMallary's groundbreaking debut book, Slip, challenges the conventional "before and after" narrative of eating disorder recovery. Through a combination of memoir, extensive interviews, and cutting-edge research, she introduces the concept of "the middle place"—the liminal space between sickness and full recovery where slips are expected and progress is always possible.Slip is a restorative narrative that illuminates the messiness of recovery without sugarcoating difficult truths. It provides a compassionate and realistic framework for those with lived experience, their loved ones, and the professionals who support them. Mallary's talk will delve into the themes of vulnerability, authenticity, and the importance of finding hope in the ongoing process of recovery.Your presence and support at this year's gala will help our chapter continue to provide essential education, training, and resources, fostering a community that understands and supports the complexities of eating disorder recovery.Tickets:Early Bird Pricing: $55 per person (Lunch provided)Late Bird Pricing: $65 per person (Lunch provided)5 Tickets: $250 ($25 discount)10 Tickets: $500 ($50 discount)Become a Sponsor for the event and receive table space at the networking reception in addition to the following:Sponsor Pricing:$100 - Bronze (take away table)$ 500 - Silver (marketing table and 3 tickets to the event)$750 - Gold (marketing table and 4 tickets shout out in newsletter)$1000 - Platinum (marketing table and 5 tickets - link from chapter website and shout out in newsletter)Pay by check option: Please make check payable to iaedp Tampa and email Kourtney for address.For information email: kourtney@outlook.comThe iaedp Foundation Inc. and their affiliated chapters do not endorse an individual sponsor, treatment facilities, or their treatment philosophies. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/8f4895e0-a951-11f1-a4a1-eb59356bc08b-rimg-w479-h740-dcf8f8f8-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/tampa/iaedp-recovery-gala-featuring-eric-pothen/100001991717558834 - **Event Categories**: nonprofit, workshops, art, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: all_ages - Duration: 3 hours - Location: Centre Club - Tampa - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 535.38, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Tampa - **state**: FL - **country**: United States - **location**: Centre Club - Tampa - **lat**: 27.9444906 - **long**: -82.5253235 - **full address**: Centre Club - Tampa, 123 South West Shore Boulevard, Tampa, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: iaedp Recovery Gala Featuring: Eric Pothen - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/55b2fa2cf05fa6fa84b27f6848b99608950b39ff92e9889e87ee1a2b76fa3029-rimg-w1200-h675-dc97ad6c-gmir.jpg?v=1781224890 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is iaedp Recovery Gala Featuring: Eric Pothen being held? - **A:** iaedp Recovery Gala Featuring: Eric Pothen takes place on Sat, 05 Dec, 2026 at 11:00 am to Sat, 05 Dec, 2026 at 02:00 pm at Centre Club - Tampa, 123 South West Shore Boulevard, Tampa, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing iaedp Recovery Gala Featuring: Eric Pothen? - **A:** iaedp Recovery Gala Featuring: Eric Pothen is organized by iaedp Tampa Chapter. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
