Conditions, permission and surrender

In this episode of Rewired, we explore one of the most important parts of recovery: giving yourself permission.

From food and movement to the idea of what recovery “should” look like, we reflect on what it means to truly surrender, and why surrendering – to others, to weight restoration and to unconditional eating – is essential.

We explore the discomfort of letting go, and the freedom that comes from allowing your body and mind to find their own way – even when others don’t understand. We also unpack the idea of invalidity and feeling like a “fraud” (and why that’s just not the case!).  

Topics covered:

·      Surrendering to the process: letting your body decide

·      Minimising ED opportunities and outsourcing support 

·      Common triggers and conditions around food  

·      Once it’s in, it’s in: the importance of consistency 

·      Time-hopping and not acting on the “moment”  

·      Allowing yourself to eat all foods

·      Meal plans, cravings, and navigating structure 

·      Loosening the grip on movement and hidden rules  

·      Permission around your weight

·      Why surrender isn’t failure
