When a human body doesn't have any more fat on it to burn, it starts to eat its own muscle, and your heart is a big, strong muscle that it can pull energy from.
College life is often seen as a time of freedom and self-discovery, but for many women, it's also a period riddled with immense social pressures and cultural expectations. In this episode of 'Recovery Unscripted', psychotherapist Courtney Grimes takes us behind the scenes to reveal the hidden struggles college women face, particularly when it comes to eating disorders. As the clinical director of Renewed Eating Disorders Support, Grimes brings a wealth of knowledge and personal experience to the table.
She dives into how these disorders are often intertwined with substance use issues and why emotional processing and distress tolerance are vital components of recovery. Grimes also shares her personal journey, which has fueled her passion for helping others navigate these treacherous waters. Her insights shed light on why eating disorders spike during college years and the challenges clinicians face in addressing these issues among a population that often appears outwardly polished but is internally struggling.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone wanting to understand the complex landscape of eating disorders and the critical importance of support and therapy in overcoming them.
