It's not a matter of willpower, it's not a matter of white knuckling it, trying harder. It might work in the short term for a little while, but in the long term it's an increased threat to self.
Imagine battling a hidden struggle that millions face, yet few openly discuss. In this episode of 'Hungry for Answers', Robin H. Clare teams up with Dr. Susan Averna to tackle the surge in eating disorders, a crisis exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Both Robin and Susan have personal experience with eating disorders, bringing authenticity and depth to their conversation. Dr.
Averna, a psychologist and yoga teacher, shares her journey from suffering to recovery, offering valuable insights into recognizing the signs of eating disorders in oneself or loved ones. They dive into the underlying trauma often linked to these disorders and discuss the powerful role of yoga and mindfulness in healing. But it’s not just about techniques; it’s about compassion and understanding.
Robin and Susan emphasize that overcoming an eating disorder isn't about sheer willpower but about nurturing self-love and seeking holistic recovery methods. If you or someone you know is grappling with food and body image issues, this episode offers hope, practical advice, and a reminder that you’re not alone.
