Trusting the Process of Change

in this weeks episode, Han is joined by Sophie Killip. Sophie is an eating disorder and body image therapist and works with her clients to help them heal their relationship with food, body, and self.

In this weeks episode, we discuss:

  • How Sophie's experience of body image and her relationship with food has shaped her work as an Eating Disorder Therapist.

  • Sophie's thoughts on the factors which impact our perceptions of our body, and how our mood plays a key role in this.

  • The impact of changing body ideals on our perception of self, how maintaining these can be impossible to sustain so thinking about internal feelings is more fulfilling and sustainable.

  • How we use our bodies to communicate our emotions, and why low self-worth and self-esteem can impact our emotions so strongly.

  • The impact of treatments such as plastic surgery have on our perception of our bodies, and how individual's may require more support than is offered to understand the motivations behind these procedures.

  • The changes that occur in recovery, as well as natural changes that occur with age, and how to navigate these and the fear associated with change.

  • How to shift your mindset to embrace change as a positive once the pre-change anxiety has reduced.

Please note that this podcast discusses eating disorder behaviours and body image that some individuals may find triggering. Please check in with yourself along the way, and note that this podcast should not be a replacement for clinical advice.
