Threasa Kluever
Eating disorders can manifest themselves from traumatic events completely unrelated to food. In eighth grade, Threasa “Tee” Kluever navigated the devastation of losing multiple close family members. Around the same time, she was also being subjected to sexual abuse. Addiction and OCPD became prominent in her life and restricted eating soon followed.
After a high school teacher became concerned about Tee’s symptoms, she was encouraged to seek help. She first came to Timberline Knolls in 2015 and credits their level of individualized care and attention to helping her deal with her traumas, which enabled her to stop punishing her body and build confidence in herself.
For Tee, victory is not about “completing” recovery but instead, working on herself and letting her disorder define her. Now she’s giving back as an alumnae coordinator, helping other alumnae stay connected and supported on the path to recovery.
