Kathryn and Coach Julie teach you how to make positive change in pivotal moments or “inflection points” in recovery. You’ll learn that you don’t have to fix every part of your life or every part of your eating. Instead, you can zero in on the times when you are tipping into the problematic behaviors, make some adjustments, and harness your own power of choice. When you recognize and work on your own inflection points, you can avoid going down those familiar but harmful pathways and build new habits.

Having a difficult relationship with food affects nearly every other relationship in your life, including your relationship with yourself. Because eating disorders are so isolating, you may find yourself turning away from other people—even the people you love the most and who love you the most. Your drive to binge and your obsessive food thoughts can distract you from being present in relationships or prevent you from forming relationships. Kathryn addresses these issues and more in this episode about healing your relationship with food, yourself, and others.

Binge-encouraging thoughts don’t make logical sense, but they are tempting to believe in the moment of an urge. You can learn to stop taking these thoughts seriously, dismissing them as untrue and not indicative of who you truly are and what you truly want. It’s helpful to know that you aren’t the only one having thoughts that try to justify binge eating. In this episode, Kathryn shares several common faulty thoughts (from the lower brain) and explains how you can stop letting these thoughts lead you into harmful actions.
