[Recover Strong] Breaking FREE from the binge-restrict cycle with Dana Sturtevant

The Recovery Warrior Shows

"The more we're aware of our patterns or cycles, the more we can start to change them."

Do you fluctuate between trying to be "good" and eating less, until you find yourself bingeing? This one's for you.

Registered Dietitian Dana Sturtevant joins us again to explore "The Cycle of Coping". Dana unpacks the intricate patterns we form around eating disorder behaviors, and shows us how to close the loop and move out of the cycle.

Here are three key takeaways from this powerful episode:

🔄 Understanding the Cycle of Coping:
- Dana explains the repetitive nature of thought, emotion, and behavior patterns that keep us stuck in the binge-restrict-diet cycle.
- Awareness of these patterns is the first step to disrupting them and moving towards recovery.

🌪 Identifying the "Shame Shit Storm":
- A deep dive into how shame takes over after what we perceive as food-related mistakes.
- Recognizing this stage can help us replace self-loathing with kindness and curiosity, impacting what happens next in our journey.

💪 Rebuilding Trust with Yourself:
- Dana outlines the importance of small, consistent acts over time to rebuild trust with our bodies and ourselves.
- Emphasizes that trust is not instantaneous but a continuous process of self-compassion and understanding.

Listen to the full episode and let Dana's wisdom guide you towards a stronger, more compassionate recovery journey.
