Breaking the Cycle of Bulimia

In this week's episode, Han is joined by Jacqueline Davis. Jacqueline is the founder of Binge Breakers and works as a bulimia recovery coach to help her clients to change their habits, shift their mindsets and engage in intuitive eating.

In this weeks episode we discuss:

  • Jacqueline's experience of an eating disorder, and how this lead her to coaching.

  • The binge-purge cycle, and what these behaviours provided for Jacqueline.

  • Jacqueline's recovery methods including pausing, managing urges, communication, and intuitive eating.

  • Limited beliefs that prevent recovery, and the importance of unpacking what is holding you back in making the decision of stopping binge-purge behaviours.

  • The link between bulimia and burnout, the consequences of behaviours that outweigh the "high" that are sometimes associated with binge-purge behaviours.

  • How to navigate and reframe relapses, slip-ups, and the guilt and shame that can be associated with this into a learning moment and sign that difficult emotions are being felt.

  • How to navigate weight restoration in bulimia recovery.
