Trigger warning: graphic descriptions of physical and sexual assault, frank discussions about eating disorder
In today's episode, Early talks with their friend Elise. Elise suffered sports concussions as a kid and had to stop playing soccer, which at that time was a huge part of her identity. A resulting change in her body and self-image led to an eating disorder as a teen. During high school she experimented with alcohol with her friends. As an adult she entered into relationships with men who had addictions, and this led to her also drinking more. A relationship with someone who abused her led her to self-medicate to numb the pain. She was able to piece her life back together after that, and is now living a life she no longer needs to escape from.
