In this episode I am joined by the dietician Sophia Boothby (aka eatforyoudietician) to delve into all things eating disorders and dietetics, which is kinda important given that food is the phobia!

We delve into so much:

- The role of family and social media on eating habits

- Importance of meal planning in recovery

- Gut health and IBS in recovery

- Why you shouldn't push back breakfast

- How to make the most of your dietetic appointments

- Why you shouldn't fear carbohydrates

- Eating for your menstrual health

- Devastating impact of low blood glucose levels

Great, you're starting therapy, but how do we be sure we'll get the most from it? and what if we've had bad experiences in the past? what is our responsibility? and how do other aspects of recovery impact how well we engage with therapy? In this episode I provide my top tips for making the most of therapy and explore each of these questions in detail.

In this episode I explore the role of acceptance and responsibility (externalising vs internalising struggle) in recovery from an eating disorder. I always promote journaling throughout recovery and provide reflective questions to help you delve deeper into the areas of acceptance and responsibility in your own recovery.

In this episode I talk through how to apply the skill 'opposite action' in recovery from an eating disorder.

Opposite action is a skill from Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT). I give personal insights, plenty of examples and practical advice around how to successfully utilise this skill in your own recovery.
