Ep. 21 Why Do Other People’s Comments Stick with Us So Much?

Why do certain comments about our bodies stay with us for years? In this episode of Dear Recovery, I answer a listener's question about the confusing and sometimes painful impact of other people's opinions about our appearance. We talk about why even comments meant as compliments can become complicated, especially in eating disorder recovery, and how we can begin to set boundaries and stop letting other people's opinions become the voice in our own heads. "If something has been weighing on your heart, I'd love to hear from you. Send me your questions, your thoughts, or even just say hello. You can email me at [email protected] or send me a DM on Instagram @dear_recovery1. No question is too messy, and you never have to figure it out alone."
