If we're not dieting, won't we just be completely out of control with food? That's the risk when we feel like we can't trust ourselves.

In this episode, we talk about what self-trust is -- including how we thought about it before recovery and how we think about it now. And maybe most importantly, how we developed more of it!

This episode was livestreamed to our private community so we also answer some listener questions about personal experiences with self-trust.

We discuss:

• trusting yourself not to binge
• self-alliance and self-abandonment
• the role of self-sabotage
• being mad that versus being mad at
• what needs to be in place before we keep promises to ourselves?
• the stories we tell ourselves
