How Do I Prioritise Recovery Alongside Studies? 19:00

5 days ago19:00

19:00

In this episode, Emily & Han discuss how to make recovery work whilst studying. The key takeaways from this episode are: Position recovery at no.1 of your to-do list Remember that your health is at foundation of everything else Do not continuously adopt the ‘I just need to get through this’ delay tactic See this as an opportunity to head towards Ed unapproved (e.g., messiness, convenience, rush) Consistently remind yourself of where you want to be long term and what your studying is ultimately all for.…

What Should I Keep Close In My Mind Whilst I Take The Leap Into Full Recovery? 23:17

10 days ago23:17

23:17

In this episode, Han and Emily speak through an array of reminders that were important to hold close when diving into a committed recovery. The key takeaways are… Surrendering involves consistently doing. Even in the presence of doubt. Doing good often doesn’t feel good. Your brain doesn’t have to be on board. Neuroscience and psychology tells us the brain is wired for familiarity and survival, not joy or fulfilment. Your thoughts are not the truth. They cannot force you to act. Hunger is normal and safe. A body relentless communication of it (including mentally!) is absolutely reasonable. Discomfort is temporary. The hard moments will pass. Slips are not failures. Recovery is non linear. Embrace the fact that recovery is messy. Recovery is absolutely possible, and absolutely going to be worth it!…

What Are The Most Important Things a Recovery Buddy Should Know About Recovery? 22:28

22:28

“What Are The Most Important Things a Recovery Buddy Should Know About Recovery?” In this episode, Emily and Han speak through advice for a recovery buddy who is supporting a healing journey. The key take away points are… - Get to know the basics about recovery in order to be able to provide grounding advice that reconnects your loved one with their healthy self (see rec. resources) - Stand by their side through that discomfort without enabling them to use disordered means to alleviate anxiety. Holding somebody to account to follow through with the most recovery aligned action is the kindest thing you can do. - Acknowledge that the place that somebody is in their recovery is not represented by their weight. Somebody can be ‘under weight’ at any weight, if they are beneath where their body wishes to be. - View recovery with urgency until the point of fully recovered. The amount of deficit somebody is in shows up their behaviours and inner experience. - ‘Better than before’ is not good enough. Encourage unrestricted eating. Remember that under eating is often invisible. - Engage in practical support where possible. Keep offering. Keep challenging. Hold to your word with consistency and plenty of hope. - Acknowledge that the ED will not like the recovery buddy. Friction that arises is not representative of your wrongdoing. Stand firmly in the recovery ground. -Some resources that we both recommend: Tabitha Farrar's ' Rehabilitate Rewire Recover '. Becky Freestone's YouTube videos . Helly Barnes' blog Chris Sandel's ' @sevenhealthcompany '.…

When Do I Start Eating Normally Again? 21:21

5 weeks ago21:21

21:21

In this episode Han and Emily discuss beginning to eat 'normally' again. The key takeaways are: 'Normal' according to who? 'Recovery eating' may not actually be all that different to Recovered eating. Normalisation happens gradually as your body begins to trust you. There is no neat timeline. Focus on what you CAN do. Just like other resources that it might be deficient in, your body does know how to recalibrate itself and get back to individualised balance. There are some other episodes on this topic of ‘normal eating’ if it is a subject that you find valuable to hear more on ~2023.…

The key takeaways are: View weight restoration to an unsurpassed point non-negotiable. You cannot accept what you are seeking to side-step Stop weight gain avoidant behaviours .

Is Intuitive Eating a Good Idea in Recovery? 20:57

14 weeks ago20:57

20:57

In this episode, Han and Emily discuss Intuitive Eating. The key takeaways are: Allowing intuition to guide us involves letting out body perform unconsciously. Therefore, there is a paradox in consciously deciding to begin to doing Intuitive Eating. Intuition is distorted by fear. Following your hunger and fullness is not necessarily safe to do in recovery, when these cues are very likely warped and compromised. Intuitive eating is not just the 'hunger and fullness diet'. It is about supporting your body, oftentimes proactively. Focus on clearing fear with intentionality. Mechanical processes are often required in any process that also involves fear We hope you found value in this episode - as always, we really enjoyed speaking this topic through.…
