Episode Synopsis

Neuroscience explained + tips for coping with body changes...
Today's episode is an interesting one! If you experience strong feelings of disgust (among other negative emotions) when weight-restoring in anorexia recovery, you are not alone!

There is nothing wrong with your body- hopefully the episode can point that out by highlighting the biological mechanisms of how body-image & disgust can relate.

Overview :

Tip 1: Focus on self-care, hygiene, and other aspects of your appearance.
Neuroscience: interoception, body mapping, fear response, & the power of time.
Tip 2: Decrease disgust by changing the mental image of your body.
Tip 3: Use thought- blocking to prevent negative spirals.

Thank you for listening!
