Almost twelve years into recovery, and a lot of what I once held as non-negotiable has shifted. Some of it through my own healing, some of it through years of sitting across from clients.
In this episode I'm walking through six things I used to believe about eating disorder recovery and now think differently about: exercise, being "recovered," harm reduction, intuitive eating, recovery content, and keeping it all private. Some of these might surprise you. You might disagree with some of them. That's okay. You're allowed to change your mind too.
In This Episode:
Why I no longer think exercise has to be 100% off the table for everyone, and the nuance that matters
Yoga, embodiment, and reconnecting with your body
Why "recovered" as a finish line bred perfectionism and hopelessness for me
Why I believe in harm reduction, even though some clinicians don't
Why intuitive eating is a great goal and a hard place to start
What I've come to believe about recovery content, including my own
Why I stopped keeping my eating disorder private
