Acceptance in Recovery: Why It's So Powerful (But So Hard) - Once Upon A Binge Podcast - Ep. 20

In this episode, we explore the often misunderstood concept of acceptance and how it plays a powerful role in recovery from binge eating and body image struggles. Katy and Becca share personal stories and reflections, including: ✨ Katy wearing shorts in public for the first time without overthinking her body ✨ The moment Becca realised she hadn’t truly accepted her bingeing, even though she thought she had ✨ Why acceptance is not the same as approval, passivity, or giving up ✨ How resistance keeps us stuck—and dysregulated ✨ What the neuroscience says about acceptance, the nervous system, and flexible thinking ✨ How exposure, readiness, and surrender show up in body image healing ✨ The difference between saying “I binge” and saying “I binge and I’m still worthy” This episode is honest, compassionate, and grounded in real experiences, perfect for anyone struggling to find peace with their body, food, or recovery journey.
