In this episode, Han and Emily discuss dealing with anxiety about the future - beyond recovery. 

Whilst it can be exciting to have freedom awaiting ahead, it is not at all uncommon to have emotions of hesitancy, fear and trepidation opposing these.

The key discussion points in this episode are:

• Focus on The Now.
• Recovery itself equips you to navigate tough life things 
• Your worthiness of support does not rely on your physical condition or diagnosis.
• Building tools for regulation (without ED) is part of your healing journey.
• Building unwavering self-trust means allows you to not require ED certainty in order to feel safe.

In this episode, Emily and Han discuss the validity of mental hunger. The key takeaway points are:

Respect that your body knows what its doing

Mental hunger is coming from a physiological place.

Your body has no malicious intention. 

Whatever, whenever, how much ever

In this episode, Emily and Han discuss how to move your attention away from thinking about weight gain in recovery.

The key takeaways are:

View weight restoration to an unsurpassed point non-negotiable. 

You cannot accept what you are seeking to side-step

Stop weight gain avoidant behaviours.

You cannot suggest to your brain that weight gain is safe when still doing weight gain avoidant behaviours that verify the fear.

Get clear on your values, and separate these from your EDs values. 

Nourish what is within your sphere of influence, and true interest.

Set yourself up to win

• Comfortable clothes
• Stop body checking 
• Remove the scale
• Where you can, ensure that your environment is not body-focused.

 Remove energy deficiency - ensure caloric abundance 

In this episode, Han and Emily discuss Intuitive Eating. The key takeaways are:

• Allowing intuition to guide us involves letting out body perform unconsciously. Therefore, there is a paradox in consciously deciding to begin to doing Intuitive Eating.
• Intuition is distorted by fear.
• Following your hunger and fullness is not necessarily safe to do in recovery, when these cues are very likely warped and compromised.
• Intuitive eating is not just the 'hunger and fullness diet'. It is about supporting your body, oftentimes proactively.
• Focus on clearing fear with intentionality. Mechanical processes are often required in any process that also involves fear
