So many people face feelings of greed and wrong doing in eating disorder recovery which are so intense that it holds them back from all the food they should be eating and want to eat!

In this episode I discuss the concept of greed and whether it is an appropriate emotion in eating disorder recovery.

For many people with an eating disorder, compulsive exercise and movement is a huge part and rarely adequately addressed in treatment.

Unless people do overcome the compulsive movement in recovery, they won't recover.

This episode explains what compulsive movement entails and why it needs to be spoken about.

Rewiring the brain is an essential part of the eating disorder recovery process, so that you can 'wire in' recovery positive actions, thoughts and behaviours and 'wire out' the old disordered pathways.

In this episode, I discuss the basics of what neuroplasticity (or rewiring) actually is.  In future episodes I will go into more details.

Like treatment for any medical condition, treatment for eating disorder recovery does come with a lot of side effects, many of which are not particularly fun and can even be very challenging in themselves.

In this episode I talk about some of the side effects to recovery that I experienced.

Eating disorders can create so many stories about why recovery is not possible right now.  They use blame of others, obstacles in your life and any other reason for why you need to delay.

But in order to recover, you need to take charge and do recovery despite all these stories about why it's not a good time now, because the perfect time won't ever come...

Eating disorders can make a person rigid, routine driven, perfectionistic and sorry, but I know because I have been there, they make a person a bit boring!

In recovery, it can really help to find the fun in recovery and perhaps it is time to find your wild and free side to help along the recovery process.

In eating disorder recovery, it is important to rewire your brain in a positive, self directed, recovery focused direction.

Understanding some of the neuroscience behind how rewiring happens on a brain based level can help when you are in recovery to ensure a more effective and faster rewiring process.  Therefore, this is what I talk about in this episode.

Many people in eating disorder recovery can be doing well, making changes, eating more, breaking habits but instead of recognising their progress, remain down with themselves because they are still restricting or engaging in behaviours and so say they have 'failed' at recovery.

This episode is to say that recovery is a process and even if it is not perfect from day one does not mean you have failed!

A common thought pattern for people with eating disorders which can keep someone in the illness or lead to a slide back in recovery, is the 'I didn't eat that much yesterday, so I don't need to today' thinking.

In this episode I talk about this common issue in recovery and that one way to overcome it is to keep aiming to make sure each day in recovery is your best yet.

In eating disorder recovery, many people experience high levels of hunger, something commonly referred to as 'extreme hunger'.

In this episode, I talk about the fact that 'feast follows famine' when it comes to any period of restriction and never more so than when recovering from an eating disorder.  Listening to the urge to feast eat and going with it is a key part of recovery!
