Love & Learn

All of our emotions are welcomed visitors that deserve to be greeted, as opposed to being treated like foreign enemies that we slam the door on.

Show Notes

All of our emotions are welcomed visitors that deserve to be greeted, as opposed to being treated like foreign enemies that we slam the door on.

This is a show for the big feelers. Today's lesson is about intense feelings and how to handle them. Emotions are something we ALL feel - for better or for worse, and they can be particularly intense in eating disorder recovery. This is especially true when you’re used to using eating disorder behaviors to cope, but once you start to move away from that, intense feelings can come up. It feels uncomfortable and uncontrollable. 

Your first instinct might be to fight and resist these waves of emotion, or to turn back to eating disorder behaviors. But we need to learn how to accept and embrace emotions, not resist and push our emotions away. This is super important in the recovery process. 

It may sound counterintuitive to your natural instinct to fight the feelings away, and it only makes sense that you would want to do that. But there are more helpful ways to regulate emotions that will set you up for much more success in the long run. It’s not always easy to face these emotions and practice new ways to cope, but it's worth it.
