I honestly didn't even believe that I had an eating disorder or an issue until I was three months into my recovery, maybe four months into recovery, like I actually started recovery before I even believed I had an issue...
What if you were on a recovery journey without even knowing why? That's the intriguing reality for Rachel Pollack. In this episode of 'Recovery Talks: The Podcast', host Marc Lee Shannon sits down with Rachel to explore her battle with an eating disorder and the anxiety that fueled it. Struck by the pandemic and sidelined by her condition, Rachel didn't initially grasp the depth of her struggles.
She shares how she floated in a middle-space often overlooked in discussions about eating disorders—where not everyone hates food or spends every moment thinking about it. Rachel's words, 'You can eat three meals a day, and you can still have an eating disorder', challenge common misconceptions and shed light on the complexity of these conditions. The conversation dives deep into the concept of 'control', a double-edged sword in Rachel's life.
Her journey through therapy reveals how her disorder held the reins, masking itself as a pursuit of health and fitness. This episode isn't just about Rachel's challenges; it's about her triumphs too. She talks about becoming an author and how writing played a pivotal role in her recovery. Through candid dialogue, Rachel emphasizes the crucial role of professional help and a supportive network in navigating recovery.
If you're looking for an honest and heartfelt discussion that breaks down the nuances of eating disorders and offers hope, this episode is a must-listen.
