Honoring The Hard Parts Of Recovery

This episode is inspired by a recent post from Katie Dalebout

“Having a body has caused my mind pain. Having a mind has caused my body pain”

IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:

The feelings shame we both experienced for the thoughts we had during our eating disorder recovery 

Engrid’s letter

What’s happening when you choose recovery?

• Breaking up from an abusive relationship
• Stockholm Syndrome 
• Losing a coping tool
• Aninostalgia

What's it like to live in a diet culture world as someone who’s in recovery?

Recent triggering experiences

Smaller bodies receiving more positive recognition, praise, compliments, affirmation, & validation 

from people who are still stuck in the mindset that there’s a hierarchy of bodies (literally darwin made a heirarchy of bodies - based on race and sex) - people who don’t believe that don’t praise it) - We have to start this movement and build momentum - it’s a belief not the truth

Validating your work

Your not wrong for wanting to be in a smaller body

Self focus // self destruction

The compromise of choosing recovery:

• What you give up (CONTROL)
• What you gain (FREEDOM)
• Shift focus away from SELF
