Although eating disorder recovery requires behaviour change and a focus on food, it also requires psychological and mindset work. If this part of recovery is not addressed, you are at risk of being stuck in a quasi-recovered place or simply thinking that 'recovery doesn't work for me'. 

This is part five on all things psychology and mindset in eating disorder recovery. Many people with eating disorders consciously or unconsciously find that a focus on food and body can bring a sense of safety and control, when life has felt overwhelming and out of control. In this episode, I explore how this plays out and how you can begin to let go of control and surrender, not only with food but in relationships and wider life.  I hope that you find it helpful.
