EXERCISE ADDICTION, food restriction, and extreme perfectionism with Paul Beuttenmuller
1Description
"Exercise is a celebration of what the body can do, not a punishment for what it did."
Paul spent so much of his life trying to keep up with the perfect "golden boy" image. This included pretending that everything was okay on the outside, while hiding his true struggles and pain from the world.
Now, Paul is open about everything he’s been through. And in this inspiring episode he encourages you that it does get better. There’s still so much road ahead of you and there’s so much you can do with it if you’re willing to go through the process. Be vulnerable, seek treatment, and really do what you need to do and you’ll be able to get to the other side and do those things you’ve always dreamed about.
For a textbook perfectionist and overachiever, Paul's recovery process has shown him that life is not defined by medals and material things, but by experiences and emotions.
