NEW ‘THE COMPATIBLE YOU PODCAST’ EPISODE

This is a different episode to what I usually do but when someone’s makes unhelpful, damaging and outright wrong comments on an individual’s eating disorder recovery journey I wanted to record this. In this episode I respond to a video ‘Pretty girl with an eating disorder thinks she’s a psychologist’ – if that name doesn’t set the tone for the episode…

I respond the poor commentary and discuss why it is NOT OKAY to comment on someone’s eating disorder recovery and why eating disorders aren’t caused by someone’s food intake (YES, that is a comment within the original video…).

I discuss privilege and why we need to ensure people within their eating disorder recovery are supported given that eating disorders have the HIGHEST mortality rate compared to other mental illnesses. I hope this provides some education and a new perspective around eating disorder talk and serves to remind us that we need to be conscious of our comments.

I also hope this encourages individuals to speak up about their struggles and know that they aren’t alone. This podcast was recorded to share advice from my own recovery and comments made are my own opinion. I am not a qualified psychologist of medical professional.

You can listen to the podcast on apple and Spotify.

TW – In this episode I do talk about eating disorders and poor body image which maybe distressing for some listeners. Please find below some links to great resources if you find yourself struggling, you are NOT ALONE.
