134. Overcoming Obstacles in ED & HA Recovery

<p>How do you overcome the mental obstacles in recovery? This was a questioned I got asked the other day on Instagram. Oftentimes there's a huge gap between knowing what we NEED to be doing in recovery and actually DOING it.</p> <p>But what stops us?</p> <p>Oftentimes it's the fears and worries that create these huge obstacles. Today I'm going to explore the most common obstacles I see come up for clients in recovery and how to overcome them.</p> <p>In this episode I discuss:</p> <ul> <li>The fear of weight gain - where it comes from, how it impacts your recovery, and ways to challenge it</li> <li>Ignoring hunger - why we do it, where we learnt hunger was "bad", and how to start listening and responding to it more</li> <li>Fearing fullness - similar to hunger the beliefs we have about fullness have been warped by society. I unpack these to help you realise fullness is nothing to fear</li> <li>Taking a body-only or mind-only approach to recovery - a big obstacle as you truly need a connected mind-body approach for recovery</li> <li>Avoiding discomfort - probably THE most common obstacle because it's tough to choose being uncomfortable repeatedly so I give you some helpful tips to navigate big emotions so you can keep choosing recovery aligned behaviours</li> </ul> <p>.</p> <p>❤️<strong> <a href= "https://sarahlizking.com/email-list/">Join my newsletter list</a> </strong>for weekly motivation and inspiration and you'll also receive a FREE copy of my eBook "31 Ways to Boost Your Body Image"</p> <p>❤️ <strong>Ready to get your period back?</strong> Join the next round of Healing Hypothalamic Amenorrhea!
