The Recovery Warrior Shows

In today's episode, Jessica and Andrea discuss the 3 paradoxes of shame, its ties to fear, and the role of self-compassion in overcoming shame.

Take a listen to gain a deeper understanding of the relationship between shame, fear, and self-compassion and the role they play in eating disorder recovery.

Key topics in this episode:
  • The interconnectedness of shame, fear, and eating disorders – how shame fuels the disorder and perpetuates the fear of not being good enough.
  • The power of self-compassion in breaking free from shame and fostering a transformative recovery journey.
  • Recognizing the disordered cycle of self-criticism and negative motivation and embracing self-compassion as a new approach.
  • Overcoming resistance to self-compassion and taking baby steps towards incorporating it into daily life.
  • The shift from striving for perfection to embracing self-acceptance and messy growth, leading to a healthier, happier version of oneself.
