Eating Disorder Recovery and the Return to Movement
<p>When should you return to exercise – if indeed you would like to?<br>How do you make sure you’re choosing to increase your movement for the right reasons?<br>How do you hold yourself accountable and remain safe, without threating eating disorder recovery progress?</p><p>Debbie chats with Sarah Parker for this latest episode of the Wednesday’s Child podcast.</p><p>They discuss motivations, considerations and why it’s always so important to keep ‘checking in’ with yourself to discover why you’re truly seeking to ‘move more’.</p><p>While not everyone who has an eating disorder experiences compulsive exercise behaviours, we know it is a factor for a large number of people.</p><p>This episode is aimed at helping you reconsider the approach to a return to movement, and to encourage you to take a different mindset to why we might wish to have exercise in our lives again.</p><p>This episode is also useful to parents and carers who want to gently navigate how to manage the desire of a loved one to increase exercise.</p><p>Stay in touch by emailing us at <a href="mailto:hello@wednesdayschild.co.uk" target="_blank">hello@wednesdayschild.co.uk</a></p>

Going ‘All In’ for Eating Disorder Recovery: Is it the Right Option for You?
<p>Debbie is joined by Sarah Parker, eating disorders therapist, to discuss the ‘all in’ route to recovery.</p><p>Many people elect to consider ‘all in’ as a way of more speedily exiting the world of an eating disorder, but not everyone finds it to be an approach they can manage.</p><p>It certain is a pathway which requires a great deal of contemplation, support from others, and some robust medical observation at points in the journey.</p><p>In this episode, Sarah kindly shares not only her therapy insights, but her own personal experience of having opted to go ‘all in’.</p><p>She talks openly about why it’s so important to be ready for the conflict between speedier weight restoration, vs the longer journey toward complete healthy cognition.</p><p>If you are considering ‘all in’, remember that your unique eating disorder circumstances will inform whether this is right for you, and what approach you might want to take.</p><p>We would always encourage anyone adopting this route to have a good support tribe around them as they go through the process, but also that you have a practice nurse or GP on side to help observe bloods and other vitals – preventing any adverse implications as you restore weight.</p><p>Please do let us know if you’ve tried ‘all in’ and how it worked for you.</p><p>You can contact us directly by emailing <a href="mailto:hello@wednesdayschild.co.uk" target="_blank">hello@wednesdayschild.co.uk</a></p>
