#63: Supporting A Partner (Or Anyone) Through Recovery

Abbie's husband, Jeb, is back on the pod again! They discuss how to support a partner (or friend, loved one, family member) through their recovery. This episode is focused on recovery from chronic dieting and disordered eating, but we also talk a lot about recovery from addiction, given that it Jeb's background.  Topics discussed: What is "recovery", and how can we think about "full" recovery? How Abbie feels about the language of "recovery" and "recovered" Ways Abbie and Jeb have supported one another's healing Communication and boundaries in recovery Asking for support and expressing your needs Commenting on food and bodies How to show up imperfectly for your loved one How to work through and honor the evolution of healing in a partnership Being okay with not understanding everything Feeling helpless as the supporter of someone else's healing Full Plate is listener-supported (no ads!) so please support the show on Patreon for bonus episodes at Patreon.com/fullplate Patreon is also home to the episode transcripts (which are publicly available to everyone, not just our patrons!).
