Eating Disorder Relapse Infographic

This Slip/Lapse/Relapse Stoplight infographic is a simple, visual tool to help your clients understand the differences between a slip, a lapse, and a relapse in eating disorder recovery. As a dietitian, you can use it in several ways:

• Education: Use the stoplight during sessions to explain the differences between slip, lapse, and relapse, making it easier for clients to identify their experiences without shame.

• Reflection: Provide a copy to clients as a visual reminder of their progress and to help them self-monitor their behaviors.

• Communication: Empower clients to communicate with you or their support system when they notice patterns of concern.

This visual aid is a supportive, non-judgmental way to foster awareness and accountability.
