If you're feeling stuck in your recovery journey, this part 1 of a 2 part episode shares the top hidden barriers that might be keeping you chained to eating disorder patterns - and how to break free once and for all.
IN THIS EPISODE Things to Stop Doing:- Stop Waiting for Perfect Circumstances
- There will never be a "perfect time" to heal
- Recovery happens IN life, not separate from it
- The waiting game is another form of control and perfectionism
- Recovery requires a decision, not ideal conditions
- Stop Spending Time and Energy on Things That Aren't Recovery Priorities
- Your time and energy are your most precious recovery resources
- Identify where you're "leaking energy" through triggering activities
- Ask yourself: Does this support my healing or undermine it?
- Recovery requires intentional redirection of your resources
- Stop Comparing Yourself to Everyone Else
- Comparison is a recovery killer
- You're comparing your behind-the-scenes to others' highlight reels
- Your recovery journey is unique to your body and history
- The only valuable comparison is to your yesterday self
- Stop Changing Course - Results Take Time and Commitment
- Recovery isn't a race; it's a journey
- "Recovery whiplash" prevents momentum and lasting change
- Recovery tools are like muscles - they get stronger with consistent use
- Before abandoning your approach, ask if you've given it a fair chance
- Stop Thinking You're So Out of the Ordinary
- You are not the only person who has ever navigated this
- The core patterns of eating disorders are remarkably consistent
- Feeling "uniquely broken" becomes an excuse to stay stuck
- Connection to others with shared experiences is powerful medicine
- Stop Thinking Short Term
- You deserve lasting freedom, not just getting through the next meal
- Short-term focus can lead to decisions that undermine long-term healing
