Summary
In this episode, Kathryn discusses the topic of being ready for recovery. It’s possible you may need to work on an area of your life or another problem in order to prepare for dismissing urges and eating adequately; but most likely, you are ready for recovery just as you are right now. It’s important to view recovery readiness in a practical way, and also to know that “you aren’t ready” thoughts can be neurological junk as well.

| 1:16.1 | My mission is not to help you solve all your other problems, but to end the binge eating specifically. But what if, in your case, you feel like you need to work on another problem |
