Been There

In this weeks episode, Han is joined by Been There Founder, Tessa Peters. Been There is an app for individuals with body image struggles, which provides free one to one mentoring support, via the app, from a real person who has experienced similar issues.

In this episode, we start by discussing Tessa's experiencing of developing an eating disorder, and how this impacted her life. We then spoke about her experience of Eating Disorders Anonymous, and how this inspired her to develop Been There.

We spoke about body image issues, and how we navigate these in our day-to-day lives. This leads onto discussions around social media and social support, and other mechanisms of support.

To find out more about Tessa and Been There, you can find them on social media @beenthere.app or visit www.beenthereapp.com.

Please note that this podcast discusses dieting and purging behaviours which may be triggering for some individuals. Please tread lightly and check in on yourself throughout.
