BONUS VALENTINES! Is it Toxic Positivity if You Romanticise Eating Disorder Recovery? 11 Thoughts on Self-Love and Hope on the Healing Road


Listen Later

Eating disorder recovery is often a murky, dark and difficult road with sporadic glimmers of hope along the way. It’s digging around in the depths of your psyche to work through traumas and abandonment wounds. It’s about interrupting disordered cycles with food, which have long protected and kept you safe. It’s profoundly challenging work. You might feel distinctly worse before you feel better. The road feels long and winding. You reach one summit to only realise that there are many more on the horizon. So perhaps it feels ‘toxically positive’ to romanticise aspects of recovery and eek out some goodness amongst the gloom and doom? Yes and no!

In this episode, I explore 11 ways to romanticise recovery, to instill hope and encouragement on the healing road. I hope that you enjoy it.
