Summary

(Disclaimer: This episode is a re-run. It was originally published on October 15, 2022)

We've bought into the idea that we're capable of controlling our emotions. We're not. At the same time, our emotions provide us powerful keys to self-awareness. They serve as a way to help us understand our needs, boundaries, and desires better.

In this episode we cover five intense emotions connected to eating disorders so you can get to a place where you embrace their intensity without turning to eating disorder behaviors, and ultimately understand their underlying messages.
