Understanding the Eating Disorder Voice and Your Values for Recovery with Holly Marsh

This week on the podcast, I’m joined by Holly Marsh, a psychotherapeutic counsellor who specialises in eating disorders in private practice, and someone who also brings her own lived experience of recovery into the room.Holly shares how, during her own recovery, she often found parts of treatment confusing… especially when they seemed to echo the very voice she was trying to challenge of not being "sick enough". That experience has really shaped how she now thinks about recovery, both personally and professionally.What We Cover in This EpisodeWhat the “eating disorder voice” actually is (and why it can feel confusing)How the eating disorder can shape-shift and mimic your own thoughtsThe “superpower” feeling and why it can be so hard to let goWhy recovery can feel worse before it feels betterThe role of values in guiding recoveryHow to start separating your thoughts from the eating disorderThe short-term “payoff” that keeps people stuckNavigating relationships and rebuilding trust with loved onesHonesty, identity, and the role of lived experience in recovery and professional workConnect with Us:Subscribe to the Full of Beans PodcastFollow Full of Beans on InstagramCheck out our websiteListen on YouTube⚠️ Content Note: This episode includes discussion of eating disorders, anorexia and recovery.
