The Sanctus Podcast on Mental Health

#05 - Jess Robson; relationships with food


Listen Later

Given it's Eating Disorder Awareness Week, it made sense for us to touch on this subject in our latest podcast. We're lucky enough to have Jess Robson as part of the Sanctus community, who was willing to share with us her story of disordered eating and bulimia.
It made me really think about my own relationship with food and how we all have a relationship with it, because we can't get away from eating. It was also important for me to understand what labels like 'Eating Disorder' and 'Bulimia' actually mean to Jess. Sometimes, the labels can feel scary, so they stop people actually talking about them.
It felt good to hear the underlying feelings behind the big scary words and phrases.
Jess has found her outlet in running and I was also glad to hear someone honestly admit that therapy didn't always work.
It's a powerful story, from a brave person on an important part of mental health. We all eat, we all have a relationship with food, it really made me think and I hope does for you too.
Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback in the comments, and tag in any friends who you think would appreciate this.
