Something is trying desperately to get our attention. And it is our own self. We are spiritual beings trying to live in a body. So at the heart of every eating disorder is the desire to awaken, embrace our whole selves and experience our spiritual truth. Creativity, passion and our soul's desire will lead us to our true selves. Carol Normandi, MFT, www.amritaedt.com, FB- Amrita Eating Disorder Treatment

This podcast is looking at true recovery. It requires many layers of learning that unfold uniquely, spontaneously and independently. As we go around the spiral of recovery we often hit a stressor, which takes us back to our behavior. But we learn how to work ourselves out of it and get back to recovery with more self-knowledge. Stress will always happen but we can have faith we will work through it. Margaret Burton

Boundaries
When we stop dieting and obsessing about food and weight, we set a boundary that allows us to start living our lives and meeting our own needs. Setting boundaries is a way to protect our integrity. By setting limits or saying no we are able to make choices based upon our own unique truth, instead of what we believe we “should” do, “should” eat, or “should” weigh.

Satisfaction is knowing exactly what you need in the moment and then giv8ng it to yourself. When you can identify exactly what your body hungers for and give this to yourself without restriction and judgement, then you will experience satisfaction. What your body is hungry for may be different than what your mind thinks you should eat or what you might be emotionally craving.

When we stop dieting and obsessing about food and weight, we set a boundary that allows us to start living our lives and meeting our own needs. Setting boundaries is a way to protect our integrity. By setting limits or saying no we are able to make choices based upon our own unique truth, instead of what we believe we “should” do, “should“ eat, or “should” weigh.

Reflection is the ability to see your true self mirrored back to you. Unfortunately, we spend most of our lives using the mirror as a way to judge the imperfections in our appearance, which is a limited and biased perception of who we are. By changing how we see our reflection, we can expand and transform our vision to include the beauty of our true selves.

Feelings & Eating: Overeating and under eating are both ways to cope with overwhelming feelings. They can become a tool to calm down, numb the pain or get away from the feelings. Once we become aware of our overeating or under eating in the moment, we can then look beneath the behaviors at the underlying feelings and explore what might have caused them.
