Early ulcers as a child led to a lifelong need to control what Hannah ate. Together with Lisa, she takes us through her journey from developing an eating disorder to relapse, pregnancy, exercise addiction, and a devastating back injury. Chronic pain and the work of Nicole Sachs led her to realize she was still using food to replace her feelings and she began the intense work of finding freedom.

Topics include:
[2:30] A childhood illness and growing up with a sister who modeled were contributors to an early awareness of food and her body. The way we react to our parents/caregivers and their involvement in our upbringing. Embracing and accessing her inner child.
[16:18] Feeling lucky to be thin but knowing that puberty was just around the corner. Eighth grade formal and trying to fit into a dress was the beginning of a 10 year eating disorder. Not getting the reaction she wanted when she finally told her mom.
[28:31] Discovering a flyer for a bulimia study while in college, finding healing through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. CPT Coach, the app Hannah recommended, can be downloaded at https://mobile.va.gov/app/cpt-coach
[36:53] After falling in love with an ROTC cadet, Hannah moved from Philadelphia PA to Oklahoma to marry him. Wedding preparations prompted a relapse of her eating disorder, but becoming pregnant shortly afterwards was the final motivator she needed to truly commit to making a difference, at least until the baby was born.
[45:37] Exercise became her next addiction, taking an extreme toll on her physical and emotional health. Excessive protein and fiber wrecked her digestive system, and ignoring her body’s limits eventually led to a drastic back injury.
[55:48] Joining the group coaching program and the impact it had on her. The community connection made a huge difference and helped her discover herself more fully. The necessity of addressing spirituality in your relationship with yourself.
