Put Down The Sword: Why Being At War With Your Eating Disorder Is Keeping You Stuck (EBOOK)
Hello Friends!
I feel very passionately that it is time we take a different approach to addiction recovery (and relapse) - eating disorders included! How can we be on a path to healing when we continue to wage a war against ourselves inside? It just doesn’t make sense to me.
I created this free 15 page e-book for anyone who is feeling stuck in their recovery journey or feeling enslaved in an eating disorder/disordered eating cycle. I know that feeling of ‘stuckness’ all too well - the exhaustion and frustration.
Please know you are not alone and wherever you might be on your recovery journey, you should be proud of yourself. I’m not just blowing smoke up your ass, either. This is not an easy path.
I hope the words that I have written in these pages can provide some clarity and insight that might inspire new possibilities for your recovery path.
EXCERPT :
“Anytime we are at war with ourselves or a part of ourselves, I can tell you the outcome is almost never positive nor the strategy sustainable. Maintaining any type of internal conflict puts us into a state of nervous system activation and creates a toxic internal breeding ground full of stress hormones and continued emotional dysregulation. Healing does not come from battling our eating disorder, it comes when we put down the sword and start to listen to what our bodies are trying to communicate to us. What is this eating disorder really about?
When we can understand that our eating disorder is an adaptive behaviour created by a part of us in an attempt to try to keep us safe - we can begin to work with it instead of against it. I know this from personal experience.
I spent decades hating my body and believing my body hated me. I was at war with myself even if I didn’t use that language to describe the daily battle I was consumed with. I was so distracted by my eating disorder behaviours and wanting to eliminate the chaos that I become even more consumed in a fear, shame, and guilt cycle that kept me anchored in the exact thing I was trying to get rid of. I hated my eating disorder and I blamed it for everything. Ten years ago, if my eating disorder was a real person standing infront of me I would have had zero hesitation in asking for a riffle because the truth was, it was slowly killing me. Unfortunately, I didn’t know then what I know now.”
WARNING: I write how I talk folks, profanity included. If my use of f* bombs will be offensive to your eyes and ears - my content might not be right for you! This is totally okay with me. Please do not email me detailing your disappointment in my use of ‘offensive’ language. I’m not for everyone and I’m okay with that. Much love to you!
