Eating disorders are not just about improving your relationship with food. Recovery must also include recognizing the systemic forces that fuel eating disorders, unlearning harmful internalized beliefs, and acquiring the skills needed to navigate these oppressive experiences. This webinar defines fatphobia and weight stigma, discuss the cultural impact specifically on those in recovery and explore internal beliefs around weight and their origins. Attendees will learn methods for handling experiences with weight stigma and fatphobia and how to begin to release internalized beliefs.
