In this final episode of the three-part series with Doug and Stacee, Stacee continues sharing about her in-patient eating disorder treatment. She emphasizes how important it was for her to make the choice to stay when many in the program left, and how she didn’t want to leave a legacy of not fighting. Stacee talks about the importance of moment-by-moment surrender. Doug and Stacee also reveal that when Stacee was at Laureate (https://www.saintfrancis.com/laureate), she was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD). While they were devastated by this additional diagnosis, they understand how Stacee’s childhood trauma was a significant factor in her developing BPD.
While in patient, Stacee started writing blog posts, which eventually became part of her first book, You Are Worth Saving (https://www.amazon.com/You-Worth-Saving-Stacee-Goetzinger/dp/1641142758). Stacee also founded Speak Out Loud, a non-profit organization created to bring hope and encouragement into the silence, isolation, and despair created by mental illness. Doug and Stacee also host a podcast by the same name ( https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/speak-out-loud/id1544996161) on which I have been a guest (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/speak-out-loud/id1544996161?i=1000589034457;
https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/speak-out-loud/id1544996161?i=1000644620409). Throughout all of our conversations, Doug and Stacee both emphasize the importance of their faith in Jesus during their entire journey.
Stacee has recently released her second book, The Boat That Wouldn’t Sink (https://www.amazon.com/Boat-That-Wouldnt-Sink-Memoir/dp/B0DFC6VTNC).
