Shame is a notoriously difficult emotion to feel. Because it is such a complex emotion, we are offering a ‘Part Two’ to expand upon our previous webinar on shame! Join us in taking a deeper dive into the experience of shame as a part of the eating disorder recovery process. This presentation will explore internalized and systemic shame specific to those struggling with eating disorders, and provide practical tools to move away from perceiving shame as a barrier to wellbeing and instead harness it to support recovery and healing.
Rebroadcast • Grinding Our Gears: How Grind Culture Impacts Eating Disorder Recovery• On-Demand
Available only October 10th!
“Hustle and “grind” culture centers around the idea that overextending ourselves and sacrificing self-care are required in order to success. While this culture can be glamorized, it can place immense pressure and stress on us. In this webinar, we will discuss the concepts of hustle and grind culture and how these ideas are admired in Western culture. Attendees will learn about the problems with grind culture- specifically related to eating disorder recovery- and leave with tips to let go of the hustle and embrace more rest in their recovery.
