Michelle Farris: Tackling Eating Disorders and Codependency with Compassion

Recovery is a continuous process
Ever wondered how deeply our childhood experiences shape our adult struggles? In this episode of 'The One Day At A Time Recovery Podcast', Arlina Allen sits down with Michelle Farris, a licensed marriage and family therapist, to explore the intricate dance between eating disorders and codependency. Michelle opens up about her own journey, sharing how loneliness and childhood pain led her down a difficult path. But it’s not just about the struggles; it's about the healing too.
Michelle offers a fresh perspective on why we can't just will ourselves into recovery and how core issues often manifest as triggers. She breaks down the difference between codependency and narcissism, making it easier to identify if you might be dealing with codependency yourself. The conversation also touches on practical tools like setting boundaries and practicing self-care rituals that lead to radical self-acceptance.
Plus, you'll get some great book recommendations and inspiring quotes from the lightning round at the beginning of the episode. This chat is a must-listen for anyone grappling with similar issues or supporting someone who is. It’s filled with empathy, practical advice, and a dash of humor to keep things light.
