Finding Balance: Incorporating Movement in Eating Disorder Recovery
In today's solo episode, Marie-Pier will be diving into the topic of movement and its relationship with eating disorders and disordered eating recovery. Marie emphasizes that physical activity is a personal journey and its incorporation into treatment should be based on individual needs and considerations. She acknowledges the pressure from diet culture to prioritize movement and explores how diet and fitness culture intersect to create a perfect storm of disordered behaviours. Marie shares her personal experience with movement and its connection to her own eating disorder, highlighting the importance of redefining our relationship with movement in a way that aligns with our recovery. She explains how excessive exercise, using movement to compensate for food, and the obsession with burning calories are all indicators of disordered behaviours. Marie also discusses the role of movement in treatment, and the importance of medical stability, and provides insights on how to heal our relationship with movement. So, grab your headphones and join us for an informative and empowering discussion on movement and its impact on our healing journey. Let's get to the podcast! Interested in Eating Disorder Care?
