In this weeks episode, Han is joined by Sharon. Sharon is the writer behind The BED Post Blog, whereby she shares her experience of decades of BED and her recovery journey. Sharon shares her experience in this episode so honestly, and openly, and I feel honoured to have shared this space with her.

In this episode, Han and Sharon firstly discuss what BED is, and whether the diagnosis criteria/explanation does the experience of BED any justice. We speak about the reasons someone may binge, what it may provide, and the guilt and shame attached with these actions.

Following this, we speak about the stigma attached to BED, and how to speak to your loved ones about your eating disorder. We speak about warning signs, relapses, and how to look after yourself if you do engage with these behaviours during recovery.

Finally, we talk about Sharon's GP experience, the treatment she has received, and the fantastic resources you can use during your own recovery.

To find out more about Sharon, you can follow her on social media @thebedpostblog or visit her website https://thebedpost.blog to read her incredibly insightful and honest reflections.
