Sessions are available online and in personIn this episode we talk about:-          A bit about Michelle and her own journey of recovery from a restrictive eating disorder-          How recovery is possible but that it often takes time and isn’t a quick fix-          The importance of the therapeutic relationship-          That relapses are a normal part of recovery and that self-compassion can help-          How Diet Culture impacts how we feel about ourselves and our self worth-          The “rule of three”-          That it is never too late to get support, even if your behaviours have been going on for decadesAnd much more.I really enjoyed this conversation with Michelle and even though many of you may not be in Ireland, I have to admit that I like amplifying the professionals in this space that are based in Ireland, because it feels like we forget that are some amazing professionals in this country supporting people with their eating disorder recovery and finding peace with food, eating and their bodies.You can find more info about Michelle O’Gorman here:WebsiteInstagramFind me over on Straightforward Nutritionhttps://straightforwardnutrition.com/My 1:1 work here ⬇️⬇️⬇️ https://straightforwardnutrition.com/eating-disorder-support/Book in for a 30 min free initial session here ⬇️⬇️ https://eatingfreelycallwithlinn.as.me/schedule.phpAnd sign up for my newsletter and join the Joyful + Nourishment community here Wishing you a peaceful week ahead (it certainly has been a rough one in the larger world) Get full access to Joyful + Nourishment at linnt.substack.com/subscribe
