Are you constantly on high alert? Are you always anxious?

In this episode of 'Fly to Freedom: The Anorexia Recovery Podcast,' I share insights on how to cope with fear, guilt, and anxiety during the recovery journey from restrictive eating disorders. 

I discuss the constant state of anxiety experienced by those with eating disorders, the overwhelming feelings of facing new fears during recovery, and how to acknowledge and move through fear and anxiety without fighting it. 

I emphasise the importance of self-compassion, rewriting the stories we tell ourselves, and practical steps to embrace and release fear. 

Additionally, I offer an exercise to help listeners feel and understand their anxiety, and encourages rewarding oneself as part of the recovery process.
