12. Emily Fonnesbeck ON Overcoming Perfectionism in Eating Disorder Recovery (Emily's Story)

The Nourishing Wisdom Podcast with Dr Natalie Chua

Joining me today is the wonderful Emily Fonnesback. Emily and I will be sharing a conversation today on her recovery journey from an eating disorder. In particular, we will be looking at the role perfectionism played in Emily’s recovery process, and how learning to identify, and overcome perfectionistic ways of thinking and behaving was essential in her recovery.

We will also be diving into Emily’s key learnings from her recovery journey, such as how eating disorder behaviours helped Emily to express and ultimately recognize the emotional needs and feelings she was suppressing, why Emily believes recovery is absolutely possible for everyone, and how Emily deals with self-criticism and perfectionism when it shows up in her life now.

So this is just a little sneak preview of what you can expect from this episode, and all I can say is that is such a rich one, and I hope you enjoy and learn what you can from this conversation. As always, may this episode nourish you, and bring you the healing that you need.
