In today’s episode, we discuss the factors around our demise in patience, and how our impatience with destabilising thoughts can risk leading to chronic mental health conditions.

We look at how the internet has encouraged us to alight upon negative thoughts that convince us we are not good enough, which then overrides our ability to acknowledge the positive life aspects that are also part of our every day experience.

We discuss the techniques we have used as a result of professional intervention that develop the essential patience we can acquire to foster the self-compassion vital to protecting our mental health.

On today’s episode, we speak to the Eating Disorder and Food Freedom Dietician, Maeve Hanan. Maeve offers her wealth of evidenced-based insight into the importance of having a relationship with food that supports the physical, as well as mental aspects, of a healthy balanced diet, and how to build that through intuitive eating.

We discuss navigating the cross-over from 'what is me and what is the remnants of the ED voice which is influencing my decisions around food now’ and the importance of qualified support throughout this transition.

Today’s episode is inspired by Harry’s recent recovery process move into the stage of self-discovery, enabling him to identify the ‘how’ and ‘why’ behind the choices he makes, and understanding how these choices can limit or challenge self-growth. It isn’t about fixing something broken, but about understanding yourself more clearly to empower your ability to make deliberate choices that can help you break the cycle of negative talk or self-sabotaging behaviour.
