You Are Not Your Eating Disorder
from Imi's Insight Podcast Hosted by Imi
You are not your eating disorder. In this episode, I explore the concept of externalising the eating disorder and why learning to separate yourself from the illness can be such a powerful recovery tool. We discuss the difference between your healthy self and eating disorder self, why intelligent people can still believe irrational eating disorder thoughts, and how strengthening your healthy voice can help you make decisions that align with your true values rather than the illness. Topics discussed: What it means to externalise the eating disorder Healthy self vs eating disorder self Egosyntonic and egodystonic aspects of eating disorders Why recovery can feel like an internal battle How externalising can reduce shame and self-blame Strengthening the healthy voice and reconnecting with your values I hope this episode helps you see that the eating disorder is something you experience—not who you are. 🤍
