Bulimia Recovery

In this weeks episode, Han is joined by Rachel Evans. Rachel is a bulimia recovery specialist and has created her practice to use her personal experience of recovering from an eating disorder to support clients as a chartered psychologist in their eating disorder recovery journey. Rachel specialises in bulimia recovery and joins us today to discuss navigating this recovery process from her personal and clinical experience.

This week we discuss:

  • What is bulimia?

  • How to navigate reducing bingeing and purging behaviours.

  • How eating disorders thrive in isolation, and tips on navigating this so eating disorder behaviours don't take over.

  • The motivation people may have behind engaging in behaviours, and how to work through these in recovery.

  • The consequences of behaviours associated with bulimia, and how they may not always show up immediately.

  • How to support someone else who is trying to recover from bulimia and reduce behaviours?

To find out more about Rachel, you can find her on Instagram @ rachel.evans.phd or visit their website https://eatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/.

You can also find a summary of the book that Rachel recommends here: https://embodieddietitian.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Sick-Enough.pdf or find the full version by searching " Sick Enough: A Guide to the Medical Complications of Eating Disorders - Jennifer L. Gaudiani".

Please note that this podcast discusses behaviours associated with eating disorders, particularly bulimia nervosa, that may be challenging for some individuals. Please tread lightly and check in with yourself along the way, and remember this should not be used as a replacement for clinical advice.
