Coping with Feeling Full in Eating Disor...

Ciandra Birnbaum
About this episode

In this episode, I delve into effective ways to cope with the sensation of fullness and provide practical tips for relearning a healthy relationship with food. I'll guide you through essential steps in this process, including managing hunger, breaking free from cycles of overeating or restriction, establishing a routine of regular eating to stabilise blood sugar levels, and embracing mindful eating practices.

While the eating disorder may urge you to compensate or engage in self-criticism, remember that you have the wisdom to choose kindness and self-care. I hope this episode helps!
