On today’s episode, we speak to the Eating Disorder and Food Freedom Dietician, Maeve Hanan. Maeve offers her wealth of evidenced-based insight into the importance of having a relationship with food that supports the physical, as well as mental aspects, of a healthy balanced diet, and how to build that through intuitive eating.

We discuss navigating the cross-over from 'what is me and what is the remnants of the ED voice which is influencing my decisions around food now’ and the importance of qualified support throughout this transition.

Please remember, we are not clinicians, psychologists or ED specialists. Our aim is to contribute to the field of understanding around eating disorders, and mental health support, through our lived experience, and our ongoing understanding and application of developing professional expertise and advice.

Today’s episode is inspired by Harry’s recent recovery process move into the stage of self-discovery, enabling him to identify the ‘how’ and ‘why’ behind the choices he makes, and understanding how these choices can limit or challenge self-growth. It isn’t about fixing something broken, but about understanding yourself more clearly to empower your ability to make deliberate choices that can help you break the cycle of negative talk or self-sabotaging behaviour.

Today we discuss the many aspects to the carer role so dangerously, insensibly and illogically ill-met by the specialised health care services a carer needs to support a loved one.

The weight of expectation placed by professional health support services upon a lay person supporting a loved one, with a mental or physical health care needs, presents inevitable mental health care risks to unqualified family members.

Please be mindful of your limitations, and ensure that you seek out the essential professional health support services you need which are vital to protecting you, and those who are vulnerable who are placed within your charge.
