FBT: Love or Hate?

FBT: Love or Hate?

If you know you know… family based therapy. It’s common practice in ED recovery for people under 21. If you don’t know what it is, you’ll find out. And if you do… we hope you made it out alive. Shelbye talks to Tessa, a former FBT queen about the experience. All jokes aside, and all horror stories aside— let it be known that this type of therapy DOES work for some and that shouldn’t be discredited. Listen at your own risk :)

LETS TALK BOUNDARIES

This week, we are joined with Mandy Liddle— host of Mandy’s Mind podcast. Mandy gets real on her experience with disordered eating and her recovery journey as well as having to watch her mother from a young age struggle with an ED. As most of us do, she learned a ton about relationships and healthy boundaries through it all. Let’s talk about it— what are boundaries and why do we need them? And why are they so damn hard?

EATING DISORDER RECOVERY AND BODY DIVERSITY

Another case of live in gone rogue. Shelbye and Avery recap their… interesting experience in Chicago together. Join in the discussion of healing through trauma, recovering into what society deems as a “bigger body” (and all the stupid shit that comes with it) and finding peace with yourself, even if you never believed that recovery was possible for you.

IS IT A FOOD BABY OR A REAL BABY?

This is a little bonus weekend treat… Shelbye and Tyler have an announcement. Shelbye has basically living a secret life for the last three months… and it’s time to talk about it. If you think you know, there’s more that you don’t. Stay tuned until the end for a little extra surprise. We will be over here wondering if this is real life— enjoy!

STEREOTYPES AND FEELING VALID IN EATING DISORDER RECOVERY

Today Shelbye speaks with Meg Ronnie (aka @_thewellness diaries on TikTok). Meg gives us a super interesting take on treatment outside of the United States along with the stereotypes that we all face across the world having to do with who “deserves” treatment. Listen as the two debunk these problematic assumptions as well as shed some light on the decision to recover after yo-yo-ing for so long.
