179. The 5 stages of grief in eating disorder or hypothalamic amenorrhea recovery: why letting go of your disordered self can feel like losing a loved one


Listen Later

In today's episode of Holistic Health Radio, Elyse and I chat about what the 5 stages of grief are and how they show up during recovery from an eating disorder or hypothalamic amenorrhea. You see grief is not just exclusively reserved for losing a loved one, but can be the result of a huge life change such as a relationship breakdown, moving cities, changing careers and going through HA/ED recovery.

Often times we guide our clients through grieving their old bodies or lifestyles because they are losing that during recovery (but gaining so much more in the process).

We also assume you might be feeling the same way. So, we want you to know that it is not only okay to feel grief during recovery, but it is important to feel all of these emotions as they show up.

Grief can and will look different for each of us, so if you don't resonate with everything we talk about today, that is totally okay.

But we hope that by listening to this episode, you not only feel validated in what you are experiencing, but realise that it is all part of the healing process.
