EP 210.5: STOP Doing These 10 Things if You Feel Stuck & Chained to Disordered Patterns ~ Part 2

If you're feeling stuck in your recovery journey, Episode 210.5, shares the top hidden barriers that might be keeping you chained to eating disorder patterns - and how to break free once and for all.

IN THIS EPISODE

Things to Stop Doing:

Stop Assuming You Always Know What's Best

• • Eating disorders thrive on the illusion of expertise
  • "I know what's best" is often the disorder speaking, not your wisdom
  • Recovery requires challenging your own assumptions
  • Professional guidance provides perspective you can't see from within

Stop Believing the Lie That You Aren't Doing Enough to Recover

• • • Recovery isn't about doing more; it's about being more
    • "Never enough" mentality leads to recovery perfectionism
    • The essential ingredient isn't more tasks—it's self-compassion
    • Ask: "How can I bring more compassion to this moment?"

Stop Avoiding Discomfort

• • • • The only way out is through
      • Eating disorders themselves are systems for avoiding discomfort
      • Recovery requires moving toward discomfort, not away from it
      • Each time you face discomfort, you build resilience

Stop Thinking the Worst Possible Scenario Is Gaining Weight

• • • • • The real worst-case scenario is never experiencing freedom
        • As long as weight gain remains your greatest fear, the disorder retains power
        • Recovery may include body changes, but they aren't the catastrophe predicted
        • There is no wrong choice in recovery—only refusing to make a choice

ACTION STEPS

• Identify which of these 10 patterns is most holding you back
• Choose one pattern to focus on disrupting this week
• Practice moving toward discomfort rather than away from it
• Revisit your recovery priorities and realign your energy accordingly
• Consider whether professional support could help you break these patterns

 

Remember, you are NOT your eating disorder and you are worthy of a life that is FREE from it.
