Our philosophy on treatment includes supporting people in many areas of life in addition to meeting their nutrition needs. Eating disorder recovery certainly involves modifying your eating, but if someone only works on the food piece of their life, they often can't completely escape from the symptoms. They may relapse into binge eating again, or they might replace it with a different coping behavior. That's why this podcast covers such a broad spectrum of topics, aside from food.
You may remember my client, Allison, from an episode in September, 2025, where we talked about how including joyful activities just for her was a critical missing piece of her recovery from binge eating disorder. Today you'll hear another recording of one of my sessions with Allison this time hitting on some new themes.
Join us as we explore the crucial habit of managing your energy levels throughout the day. If you often find yourself drained and only capable of brain-dead scrolling, it's likely because you've run your battery all the way down. We discuss the importance of inserting rest periods before reaching total exhaustion and how small adjustments, like a regular walk, can recharge your battery.
We can all be learning, strengthening ourselves, and winning together. If you feel like taking a rest or doing something just for fun, seems uncomfortable, unacceptable, or even impossible, this episode is for you.
