Hello fellow crybabies 💧

This week’s episode is a little heavier than the last two, so please heed the content warnings (cw: eating disorders, diets, body image stuff)

I’ve been feeling some old negative thought patterns creep back up recently and I wanted to use the opportunity to explore why, and share my own experience with how my eating disorder and body image issues have always intersected with trauma and grief.

Episode outline:

-Noticing myself slipping back into negative body thinking

-How the collective grief of what’s happening in the world has been triggering this part of me that wants to take out my big feelings on my body

-My eating disorder + body image lore, weaving how feelings grief, anger, lack of control trigger my body stuff

-More thoughts on grief: how it changes us and how we sometimes feel resistant to that change

Thank you for listening and being here. Feel free to comment or send me a private message letting me know how this episode landed for you.
