    How Do I Cope With The Jekyll and Hyde of ED and Core Me?

    2026/08/12 | 18 mins.
    In this episode, Han and Emily discuss the contrasting nature of the ED and healthy self.
    Compassion and understanding are due: The energy deficit state makes us act differently than we otherwise would.
    But, don’t 'leave the taps running'. The awareness of the duality requires a response.
    Don’t get caught up in self-attack. This suits the ED.
    Make family aware that when the ED is being challenged, it likely will be quite hostile. 
    Notice how ‘one foot in, one foot out’ approach worsens this experience

    How Do I Challenge the ED Suggestion That I’m ‘Not Sick Enough’?

    2026/08/07 | 18 mins.
    In this episode, Emily and Han discuss how to overcome the Eds judgement that you are not 'unwell enough' to pursue recovery. The key takeaway points are:
    Recovery isn't something you earn by pleasing the ED enough.
    ED is a neural network system, not an entity.
    A system based on self abandonment has no agenda to permit fully recovery.
    Nobody who is healthy wishes to be more unwell.
    Other people's behaviour isn't a reliable measure of your recovery needs. 
    Recovery on your terms, rather than the Eds terms.
    Don’t try to reason or justify your way out of this.

    Responding with compassionate action e.g., lying down, herbal tea
    The thought to compensate doesn't come to mind
    Trust is a 2 way street
    No deep fear of fullness
    Not asking "why"

    How Can I Push On With Recovery When Dealing With Stressful Life Events?

    2026/07/20 | 21 mins.
    In this episode, Emily and Han discuss ensuring recovery happens when navigating difficult life circumstances. The key takeaways are:
    This is WHY recovery is so important: to be able to navigate future circumstances like this (which are inevitable) with compassion and a nourished brain and body.
    Old patterns cannot be an option
    Assess how you are keeping other life plates spinning and use those same strategies 
    Being mechanical with use of a solid minimum
    Setting yourself up to win
    Keeping it simple 
    Focus on energy density
    Call out ED-BS. Yes, you should be recovery right now.
    You do have the skills. Repurpose those.

    How Do I Stop Boosts of Recovery Motivation From Fading?

    2026/06/25 | 16 mins.
    In this episode, Han and Emily chat through ebbing motivation. The key takeaways are:

    You don’t! Stop waiting for stable motivation or viewing it’s absence as a failure
    Motivation = emotional 
    Commitment = values-based, steady
    Has motivation faded or has ED increased resistance + fear?
