In today’s episode of the Recover to Flourish podcast, we’re diving into one of the toughest parts of eating disorder recovery: letting go of control. If you’ve been struggling with the need to control food, exercise, or your body, you’re not alone. I know from personal experience how hard it is to start loosening the grip, but I’m here to talk about why it’s so essential for healing and how to take those first steps toward true freedom. 

In this episode, I’ll share some of my own journey, offer practical tips, and remind you that it’s okay to take things slow.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

• Why control becomes so deeply tied to eating disorders and recovery.
• How to recognise when control is holding you back from healing.
• Practical tips for loosening the grip on control without feeling overwhelmed.
• How to build trust with your body and embrace uncertainty in recovery.
• The importance of self-compassion when letting go of old habits.

Letting go of control is a process, not a one-time fix, but every step forward counts. If you’re ready to take back your life and build a healthier relationship with yourself, I’ve got you covered.
