How Do I Challenge the ED Suggestion That I’m ‘Not Sick Enough’?
In this episode, Emily and Han discuss how to overcome the Eds judgement that you are not 'unwell enough' to pursue recovery. The key takeaway points are:
Recovery isn't something you earn by pleasing the ED enough.
ED is a neural network system, not an entity.
A system based on self abandonment has no agenda to permit fully recovery.
Nobody who is healthy wishes to be more unwell.
Other people's behaviour isn't a reliable measure of your recovery needs.
Recovery on your terms, rather than the Eds terms.
Don’t try to reason or justify your way out of this.
