People Pleasing and Perfectionism in Eating Disorders

Description

In today’s episode, we’re diving into two traits that show up a lot in eating disorders, people pleasing and perfectionism. If you’ve ever found yourself trying to make everyone happy, or feeling like you need to get everything just right to be good enough, this one’s for you. 

I’ll talk about how these patterns can feed into disordered eating, where they really come from, and how to start loosening their grip in recovery. We’ll also chat about what it means to find your worth outside of how “perfect” or “easy” you are for others. It’s not about changing who you are — it’s about learning to show up for yourself with the same care you give everyone else.

Let me know your thoughts!
