Going Beyond Your Comfort Zone Through D...

HARRIET FREW
About this episode

Are you desperate for change but every time you venture to the edge of your comfort zone, panic ensues, and you retreat at speed?

The overwhelming fear is so paralysing for you that it feels dangerous and distinctly wrong to venture forward.

It’s understandable to be conflicted and ambivalent about change, as an eating disorder is a coping strategy.

In this episode, I explore how to heal the deeper roots so you can move beyond your comfort zone. I hope that you find it helpful.
