[Recover Strong] 5 REASONS CONTROL is linked to eating disorders


Listen Later

"An eating disorder starts out as a way to gain control, until it starts controlling you." 

When we feel a lack of control in our lives, we experience anxiety and despair. We seek to make our environments and our lives predictable. With an eating disorder our food, weight, and self-concept becomes meticulously managed and controlled. We create routines, build habits, and organize our lives around behaviors that provide a sense of safe and familiarity.

In this episode, we explore the scientific research on the role control plays in eating disorders and the different reasons it manifest. 

With a greater awareness you gain a greater ability to change.
