Abbie's husband, Jeb, is back on the pod again! They discuss how to support a partner (or friend, loved one, family member) through their recovery. This episode is focused on recovery from chronic dieting and disordered eating, but we also talk a lot about recovery from addiction, given that it Jeb's background.
Topics discussed:
What is "recovery", and how can we think about "full" recovery?
How Abbie feels about the language of "recovery" and "recovered"
Ways Abbie and Jeb have supported one another's healing
Communication and boundaries in recovery
Asking for support and expressing your needs
Commenting on food and bodies
How to show up imperfectly for your loved one
How to work through and honor the evolution of healing in a partnership
Being okay with not understanding everything
Feeling helpless as the supporter of someone else's healing
