Recovery Talk

In this episode I talk about accepting your body in and after recovery, tolerating bodily changes, social media and the trap of comparison.

In this episode I talk about rapid and uneven weight gain in eating disorder recovery: what it is, why it happens and how to deal with it. I also answer a listener question about what to do when your treatment team set a too low goal weight for you. 

The discussion dives into the reality of recovering from eating disorders at 'normal' weights, challenging the myth that one must be underweight to seek help. It addresses the issue of weight labels and their impact on personal recovery journeys. The conversation also tackles the misconception that a healthy weight guarantees a healthy mindset, reinforcing that mental health struggles can linger regardless of BMI. Overall, it promotes a more inclusive understanding of recovery and the importance of addressing restrictive behaviors.

In this episode I talk about invalidation in eating disorder recovery, both from yourself and from others. I touch upon the fear of not being sick enough, or feeling like you are faking your eating disorder all together, especially when managing recovery.

In this episode I talk about the benefits of increasing your intake in recovery if you're someone on a lower intake. I touch upon the fear of weight gain by eating more (and why the opposite may occur), feeling it's 'too late' or 'too soon', and on the effects of an increased intake in recovery, physically and mentally.

In this week's episode I talk about consistency, and why it is so important in recovery. I also debunk the idea that in order to do recovery, you must always be motivated.

In this episode I talk about compulsive lower-level movement; the sneaky ways in which the eating disorder urges you to move and avoid rest. If you struggle with sitting down doing nothing or catch yourself taking the longer route to the shops, this episode may be for you!

Is it possible to go on a diet after an eating disorder? And what about a "healthy lifestyle change"? In this episode I talk about dieting and overall restrictive behaviours after an eating disorder (and why you'd might reconsider).

What is "healthy eating" in eating disorder recovery? In this episode I talk about the concept of "healthy eating" and how it shows up in eating disorder recovery.

In this episode I talk about bloating and digestive issues in recovery - what it is, why it happens and how you can deal with it.
