Summary
What if the true problem was not food or your body size? What if it was the power you gave food and your body size?
The power to determine your happiness, the power to numb your pain, the power to punish you, the power to isolate you from connection, the power to play small.
What would it look like if you take your power back and focus your energy on problems you enjoy having and solving?
These are the philosophical and paradigm shifting questions we touch on today as we explore the idea of "Peripheral Problems" and their role in dismantling an eating disorder and creating a strong foundation for recovery.
Examples of 10 Important Peripheral Problems
- Decision making
- Boundary setting
- Time management
- Emotional distress tolerance
- Codependency and forming secure attachments
- Nervous system regulation
- Community building
- Connection with self, friends, family, Higher Power
- Laughter and play
- Self-expression and creativity

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Recover Strong, a podcast that will transform your recovery from an eating disorder by helping you go from theory to practice to mastery. |
| 0:10.4 | This is your special time to learn new skills, tools, and get the inspiration you need to recover strong. |
| 0:17.6 | Let's get started. |
| 0:20.5 | Good morning, warriors. I'm your |
| 0:24.6 | day. Keep your head up marching on. Don't understand in your way. |
| 0:35.6 | Hello there, Warrior. I'm your host, Jessica Flint. I'm the founder and CEO of Recovery Warriors, a wisdom sharing platform for all people impacted by an eating disorder. Recovery Warriors provides resources and support to heal your relationship to food, body, mind, and soul. I believe recovery is not only |
| 0:57.3 | possible, but it is worth it. That is why Recovery Strong exists to help you see and connect to the |
| 1:04.0 | potential that lies within you to find freedom from an eating disorder. Today, we continue our discovery of a four-step transformational process to get unstuck. |
| 1:16.6 | Now we have covered one step already, and that was awareness and acceptance. |
| 1:22.6 | Now, to give a summary, because this one's very important, right? |
| 1:25.6 | Because if you're off on the first step, the rest of the steps are a lot harder to really click into place here. So I just want to give a background of what we've so far covered on awareness and acceptance. And if you were new to this mini series, be sure to check out the past three shows that have covered the introduction on the series, the first phase of awareness and acceptance, and also in intermission where we |
| 1:45.2 | really gave some time to integrate. So I have all of those linked down below in the episode |
| 1:48.8 | notes. All right, so diving deeper into this four-step transformational process to get unstuck. |
| 1:53.9 | Reviewing our very first step. Awareness and acceptance. So with this step, it's all about |
| 1:59.3 | taking inventory and bringing consciousness to your |
| 2:02.1 | patterns. Because here's the thing. If you do not make it conscious, you will continue to repeat it |
| 2:08.5 | and think that this is just part of life. This is your fate. I love the quote by Swiss psychoanalyst |
| 2:14.0 | Carl Jung, where he says, until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct |
| 2:18.1 | your life and you'll consider it fate. So this is Kimby's like, why does this keep happening? |
| 2:23.2 | Despite all my strong intentions and desires for this to change, why is it still happening? |
| 2:29.2 | Well, let's take a look at your unconscious. Because in order to have a brighter future |
| 2:33.2 | free of repetitive cycles |
