Summary

On this episode of Therapy Thoughts, Tiffany and Anna Sweeney, MS, RD, LDN, CEDRD-S sit down to talk about Anna's work and her life with chronic illness. They talk about body acceptance and body neutrality and how they differ and are the same. They also talk about body wisdom and how we need to not outsource it but listen to it and tap in wholly. They discuss trusting our bodies and how hard that can be. And they also talk about diets that claim to cure uncurable illnesses - how these can be triggers for eating disorders and disordered eating. This episode is packed with so much amazing content!
