- what if the personality traits you think contributed to your eating disorder are actually some of your greatest strengths?
In this episode, we’re talking about perfectionism, discipline, ambition, and the need for control..and how these traits can be used by your eating disorder or become assets in your recovery. You don’t have to lose yourself to let go of your eating disorder. You get to learn how to use the parts of yourself you love in ways that support your life, not limit it.
journal prompts to reflect on:
what traits did my eating disorder use to keep me stuck?
which of those traits do I genuinely value about myself?
who could I become if I no longer needed my eating disorder to feel like myself?
