EP 210.5: STOP Doing These 10 Things if You Feel Stuck & Chained to Disordered Patterns ~ Part 2

Listen Later

If you're feeling stuck in your recovery journey, Episode 210.5, shares the top hidden barriers that might be keeping you chained to eating disorder patterns - and how to break free once and for all.

IN THIS EPISODE
Things to Stop Doing:

Stop Assuming You Always Know What's Best

    • Eating disorders thrive on the illusion of expertise
    • "I know what's best" is often the disorder speaking, not your wisdom
    • Recovery requires challenging your own assumptions
    • Professional guidance provides perspective you can't see from within

      • Stop Believing the Lie That You Aren't Doing Enough to Recover

          • Recovery isn't about doing more; it's about being more
          • "Never enough" mentality leads to recovery perfectionism
          • The essential ingredient isn't more tasks—it's self-compassion
          • Ask: "How can I bring more compassion to this moment?"

            • Stop Avoiding Discomfort

                  • The only way out is through
                  • Eating disorders themselves are systems for avoiding discomfort
                  • Recovery requires moving toward discomfort, not away from it
                  • Each time you face discomfort, you build resilience

                    • Stop Thinking the Worst Possible Scenario Is Gaining Weight

                            • The real worst-case scenario is never experiencing freedom
                            • As long as weight gain remains your greatest fear, the disorder retains power
                            • Recovery may include body changes, but they aren't the catastrophe predicted
                            • There is no wrong choice in recovery—only refusing to make a choice
                              • ACTION STEPS
                              • Identify which of these 10 patterns is most holding you back
                              • Choose one pattern to focus on disrupting this week
                              • Practice moving toward discomfort rather than away from it
                              • Revisit your recovery priorities and realign your energy accordingly
                              • Consider whether professional support could help you break these patterns

                                •  

                                Remember, you are NOT your eating disorder and you are worthy of a life that is FREE from it.
