How To Have Honest Conversations About Y...

Georgie Fear and the Confident Eaters Team
About this episode

The days are gone when eating disorders and body image struggles were secrets to keep. Nowadays, people talk about them openly, which a beautiful thing. But if you aren't prepared, those conversations can get awkward, or worse yet, start disagreements when you were only asking for some help and support. 

Join Georgie and Christina in this episode to hear how we guide our clients through chatting about your experience with friends, your doctor, your family, partner, and more. You will hear how to be authentic without "dumping" on others, how to ask for support without making your recovery *their* responsibility, and more.
