Liv Label Free - World Autism Acceptance Week 2023

In this weeks episode, Han is joined by Livia Sara. Livia is the founder of Liv Label Free, where Liv works as a food freedom coach to support individuals with eating disorders to embrace their autistic characteristics in their recovery, rather than trying to change them.

In this weeks episode, we discuss:

  • What is Liv Label Free, and what was Livia's journey?

  • Labels and diagnoses, how they can affect our identity, and how this can vary for eating disorders and neurodiversity.

  • Understanding the difference between eating disorder behaviours and autism, and how they can be s destructive or supportive respectively.

  • How treatment services can adapt their approach to support individuals for their individuality, promoting long term recovery.

To find out more about Livia and her work, you can find her on Instagram @livlabelfree or visit her website www.livlabelfree.com

Please note that this podcast discusses eating disorder behaviours that some individuals make find challenging to hear. Please tread lightly and check in with yourself along the way. Note: this podcast should not be used as a replacement for therapeutic support.
