Here we go with an episode which will really challenge your thinking on issues like identity, narrative, labels and self acceptance.
All too often, we feel the need to have our illness label as some form of validation or recognition, but can it give way to becoming our identity?
Do we forget where our individual persona ends, and that cruel disease starts?
Do we fear getting well, because we’re not sure what our identity will now be in the eyes of family and friends?
And what of specific eating disorder labels? Is there a hidden (or not so hidden) bias in being badged anorexic, vs a binge eater?
Debbie, Sarah and Abi pull these fascinating topics apart.
