Logan T. has over 6 years clean and sober in Crystal Meth Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous. He has over 3 years sober in Sexaholics Anonymous and 9 months sober in Anorexics and Bulimics Anonymous. After 4 unsuccessful interventions, Logan finally entered recovery in 2018 because his chemical and process addictions had progressed to the point of unbearable mental and physical torture. His denial of his eating disorder was finally broken after he was 5 years into recovery when it was revealed to him in ABA that his eating disorder was his primary addiction. He wasn't about to give up his best drug first, instead he gave up his best drug last and finally found freedom.  Today he speaks on how he came to ABA for the vanity and remained for the sanity.Reco12 is dedicated to exploring the common threads of addiction, sharing tools, and offering hope from those walking a similar path. We gather from diverse backgrounds, faiths, and locations to learn and support one another. Our speakers come from various fellowships and experiences, demonstrating the universal principles of recovery.Support Reco12's 12th Step Mission!

My initial thought was to find information about  William Shakespeare's mother, Mary Arden.  I was curious as to the role she played or didn't play in her son's life.  That search led me to Shakespearian expert and Columbia University English Professor, James Shapiro.  His initial responses was, "your podcast will last about 30 seconds because we don't know much about her."  That said, he mentioned that he and his  brother Michael, also a professor at Columbia University (Graduate School of Journalism), would be interested in sharing stories about their mother who had also been a teacher.  Both brothers agree that their mother  "was the greatest teacher ever."  Unfortunately Lorraine had a very unhappy childhood. She was her father's daughter. The youngest of three children with two older brothers, Lorraine and her mom didn't see eye to eye. Therefore Lorraine lacked self confidence when at home, confronted by her mother. Out of this fractured relationship, Lorraine found a world full of fantasy and boundless imagination with her students. James says  " mom was a pathological fantasist. She believed that every child should have a dream." "Because of her unhappy childhood, continues Michael, she decided to recreate the world by sheer force of imagination and will."Mrs. Shapiro devoted her life to her family- her husband,  Herb, of 65 years, her children and her students. She  always told her children  that they were  accomplished and that they were going to succeed. That didn't mean that she didn't push them to work harder and do better- perhaps as Michael says "she sent mixed signals sometimes."During our conversation,  James and Michael share what a brilliant baker their mother was and how hard she worked to have fresh baked individual goodies ready for them each morning before running out the door to teach. However, when it came to main meals/dinner entrees, let's just say that wasn't her strong point.  Lorraine was  a teacher before she met her future husband.  Once  married, Lorraine's mother pressured her to quit while she was starting a family, insisting that is was completely unacceptable for her to work and raise a family at the same time.  It was 11 years before Lorraine got back to the classroom. Something that her son's know was very hard for their mother, not because she didn't love her family, it was overwhelmingly clear that their mother needed to be in the classroom with her  first graders. "It wasn't accidental that she was happiest with little kids, first graders especially. They know how to dream, they know how to play and they are perfectly happy to buy into her fantasy world," says James."Both sons love teaching and confess that they are the same kind of teacher that their mother was. They both take her into the classroom with them each day. They adore their mother, her passion and her spark and speak regularly of her magic, wisdom and  charm. "What she represented was strength" continues Michael emphatically. Lorraine may have been petite, but her dreams were big.James Shapiro-his work has made it to the NY Times Top 10 Books of 2020 list. He's a professor of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University, distinguished authority on William Shakespeare, Former Board Member, now Govenor of Royal Shakespeare Company and he is the Shakespeare Scholar in Residence at the Public Theatre in New York.Michael Shapiro-Professor at Columbia Univ Graduate School of Journalism, He's written for newspapers in New Jersey and Chicago as well as magazine publications, such as Sports Illustrated, The New Yorker, The NY Times Magazine and more.  the author of Bottom of the Ninth and The Last Good Season: Brooklyn, the Dodgers, and Their Final Pennant Race Together plus author of 5 previous books.   "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

I never told my parents. I never told anyone. You said you were in such a dark place…What flipped the light bulb on for you?One my dad came crying to me and in a very sincere and loving way helped me understand that I was not only hurting myself. I was hurting my family. “I am only hurting myself” is the biggest lie someone with disordered eating tells themself.  I started to educate myself. My mom had me put more input into what was made for dinner and planning out meals. I went on to study nutrition in college and absorb everything I could about food and how it affects the body and brain.What would you tell parents?Break the secrets and the hiding wide open.

This week on the podcast I had a licensed clinical therapist, Amy Margolis, share her own story of recovery from anorexia and perfectionism + how she now helps her clients do the same.   She talks about the “anorexic mindset” and how it extends far beyond food.   If you're someone who's struggling with anxiety, guilt or feeling out of control around food AND…   ➡️ You always feel like you need to be doing MORE…   ➡️ You need to do a million things to EARN something pleasurable (whether that be rest, food or a shopping spree)…   ➡️ You're highly disciplined and it's brought you success but you're not able to actually ENJOY the fruits of your labor because you can't relax and take a break…   …this episode is going to help you.   Finding a peaceful and free relationship with food can coexist with being a high-achieving, driven person.   But it's going to require you to LET GO OF CONTROL and FACE YOUR FEARS.   We talk about:   Allowing yourself to be SLOPPY Taking the leap of faith to give yourself permission to eat Knowing how to restrict but not knowing how to GIVE to yourself without guilt Eating when you're hungry, eating what you want and learning to trust your body Looking at what comes BEFORE a binge (were you fully listening to your hunger? Were you planning to restrict later on?)   As someone who has disconnected her perfectionism from food/body/exercise but still REALLY struggles with it in other areas of life…I really loved recording this and can't wait for you to hear it.   Amy's Resources: Here's the Memo Book: https://amymargolislcsw.com/new-book-from-amy-margolis-heres-the-memo/ Amy's Website: https://amymargolislcsw.com/ Amy's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heres_the_memo/   Contact me (Elena): DM me on Instagram @elenakunickird      Email me at elena@elenakunicki.com ✨ Learn more about my group program + book a free discovery call: bit.ly/normaleater

In this episode, Kylee and Zoë dive into the evolving conversation around Orthorexia—a term for an unhealthy obsession with healthy eating. We explore the impact of societal norms, social media, and misinformation on people's relationship with food, particularly athletes. As more people seek to "clean up" their diets, we're seeing how rigid rules and an obsession with food purity can disrupt lives. We'll unpack how Orthorexia isn't officially recognized in the DSM but still significantly impacts mental and physical health, drawing from professional insights and research. We also chat through how athletes and active folks can work towards a more balanced approach to nutrition, and avoid the pitfalls of over-restriction.  References Conviser JH, Fisher SD, McColley SA.

With a resilient spirit, Melissa not only conquered the challenges of surviving childhood trauma but also triumphed over an eating disorder. Through her unique blend of personal experience and professional expertise, she guides people on a transformative path, sharing insights on resilience, mental well-being, and the profound impact of overcoming adversity.

Stepanka faced significant challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. Previously active and involved in training, the sudden halt to her routine led to unexpected weight gain. Misconceptions about her struggle with anorexia added to her burden — people often assumed she could manage food well, but, in reality, her rigorous training had left her no time to eat, leaving her extremely hungry and malnourished. Confined at home and with ample opportunity to eat, Stepanka began consuming food all day, resulting in a weight gain of almost 30 kilograms over the course of two to three years.  Going on the carnivore diet, Stepanka saw benefits in stomach pain, acne, eczema, hair condition, weight, energy levels, and mental health. Timestamps: 00:00 Trailer. 00:53 Introduction. 05:01 Anorexic teenage diet led to physical issues. 07:56 Transitioned to carnivore diet, resolved gut problems. 10:18 Striving for good through veganism, struggles with misanthropy. 13:35 Minimalistic diet focused on beef for nutrition. 14:37 Recovery from trauma and mental health through diet. 19:32 Friend's transition from vegan to carnivore diet. 22:21 Challenges with acne and promoting healthy living. 23:41 Uncertain about diet, impact on acne, implementation. 28:50 Dancer turned non-sports person maintains muscular legs. 31:06 Fiber can waste nutrients.  32:37 Acne theory tied to reproductive beauty standards. 37:58 Climate change denial, concerns about plastic waste. 39:22 Pollution and plastic in food supply are concerning. 41:28 Where to find Stepanka.

Hui Yang is a returning VIP podcast guest. As an MD PhD in training, she recently completed her research track residency interviews with major academic medical centers and research institutes. She has observed an increased receptiveness and dedication to research on alternative nutraceutical strategies, including the ketogenic diet and increased animal meat/fat intake. She hopes to make the Carnivore.Diet community aware of this positive overall change and of certain specific academic centers that are actively pursuing this field. In addition, just recently, there have been major discoveries published in the journal Nature concerning the gut microbiome, the evolutionary history of genetic risks for multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis, and post-natal neuronal migration to the brain region most susceptible to Alzheimer's Disease. These discoveries are certainly important for those in academia. From her previous experiences, she knows they are also of interest to the Carnivore community. She hopes to bring one or more of these discoveries in an "easily digestible" language to their audience.

  Erin Nicole Harrop, LICSW, PhD What is it like to compare treatment received for anorexia nervosa when you're at the low end of the weight spectrum (“typical”) and then not at the lower end (“atypical”). Dr Erin Harrop describes this experience, how they were treated and what it felt like.  And then gives us professionals tips to do better. Believe your patient If you're going to disbelieve, bring the same curiosity you would for low weight AN. Get specific, ask questions (pringles example) Acknowledge thin privilege and the social power differential. It's not just weight stigma that influences how we feel about our bodies, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia.  Explain “While I try, however imperfectly, to address the effects of weight stigma, nutrition work is never neutral – always taking a side on weight and wellness. "Cheeseburger challenge" – may feel like a dare from my dietitian Abbi asks an important question – “How do I do this weight inclusive work and honoring my thin privilege when it feels uncomfortable?” Ignoring discrimination is a privilege of people with privilege Ethical care acknowledges weight stigma. Here's a way to tee-up a weight inclusive approach... As a nutrition provider I don't focus on weight. “I'm going to make mistakes, I'm deeply committed to giving you the BEST,  most ethical, MOST proficient care that I can, and I'm gonna keep showing up and IF something happens as we're working together that makes you feel uncomfortable, please let me know because I'm learning too.  I want to do the best I can to not cause further harm.” What NOT to say, “I'm not going to let you get fat” AND if we make mistakes we can (and should) repair. Part of the healing is actually treating higher weight patients like eating disorder patients. Article discussed today: You Don't Look Anorexic New York Times Erin's Seasonings: Believe your client Come with the same curiosity about food intake and activity regardless of weight Bio: Dr. Erin Harrop is an Assistant Professor at the University of Denver Graduate School of Social Work.

Where once anorexia was considered an obscene way to advertise, obesity has now become the new skinny. Diet and weight have become extremely divisive elements within society, and the other end of the spectrum or scale is now being glorified. Companies like PepsiCo famously told consumers that exercise alone would protect them from soda. However, it turns out that psychologically people consume more when fed this information. Likewise, selling products in smaller containers, with green logos, slogans, and health halos, contribute to profit rather than our health or that of the planet. Now companies are just telling consumers that they have the power, with a subconscious implication that the power is to buy a product. The whole idea is that you can buy whatever you want and eat whatever you want, whenever you want. Coke is even actively discouraging physical movement of any kind. Advertisers are also using ultra-small minorities in uncommon characterizations to market products, acting as if they care about obese black women surfing or gay men in high heels dancing on a stripper pole - this is an actual commercial. The flaunting and glorification of skin and bones have now become the flaunting and glorification of fat.

And then I couldn't stop binging and then I HAD to purge to relive myself of the guilt and disgust I felt for eating food. Cutting out certain foods made me feel clean.  It took me decades to realize this need to feel clean stemmed from sexual abuse I experienced from a close relative.  Parents need to know that sexual abuse is often a trigger for eating disorders…Because of shame, confusion and guilt. I never told my parents. I never told anyone. What did your parents do during these years? Mom noticed I wasn't eating. Parents showed so much love, but in the 80's eating disorders not much was known about them. So they searched for answers!Saw counselors…nothing worked because I would lie to the counselorsParents eventually took me to a facility 45min away of specialists. I still wasn't ready to change, but it was the best place they could have taken me. You said you were in such a dark place…What flipped the light bulb on for you?One my dad came crying to me and in a very sincere and loving way helped me understand that I was not only hurting myself. I was hurting my family. “I am only hurting myself” is the biggest lie someone with disordered eating tells themself.  I started to educate myself. My mom had me put more input into what was made for dinner and planning out meals. I went on to study nutrition in college and absorb everything I could about food and how it affects the body and brain.What would you tell parents?Break the secrets and the hiding wide open.

And the big umbrella of the whole thing is I'm so terrified to let anyone know me.[0:00:17] Brianne Davis: Welcome to the Secret Life Podcast. Tell me your secret, I'll tell you mine.

Please join me in my novel, secret Life of a Hollywood Sex and Love Addict, a four time bestseller on Amazon. It's a brutal, honest, raw, gnarly ride, but hilarious at the same time. Check it out now on Amazon. Welcome to Secret Live Podcast. I'm brienne. Davis. Gantt. Today I'm pulling back the curtains of all kinds of human secrets. We'll hear about what people are hiding from themselves and others. You know, those deep, dark secrets we probably want to go to our grave with, or those lighter, funnier secrets that are just plain and embarrassing.[0:01:18] Brianne Davis: Really, the how, what, when, where, and why of it all. My guest today is Ruby. Ruby, my question for you is "what is your secret?"[0:01:30] Ruby: All right, so my secret is that I am a sex and love addict. And there are other components to that as well, which is like, there's the anorexia of sex and love addiction.[0:01:42] Brianne Davis: Well, let's talk about that. Everybody knows I'm in the program. How long have you been around?[0:01:50] Ruby: I think my whole life. I've been around in other twelve step programs for my whole life. The People Pleasing program. The Allen on program. I've been in that one. But what I realized was that I had a lot of my own little things that I kept hidden by all the ways that I tried to manage and control everybody outside of myself. I would say that I started in the Alanon program, which is really trying to manage and control. And then I started to recognize that I never wanted anybody to see my flaws. That was part of my thing. So a lot of my stuff was just this strange behavior that manifested like sex and love addiction. It sort of came out in a way that to get things as a way to avoid things as a way to avoid intimacy, because we all know the definition of intimacy is intimately, you see, but I love that term, but I used it. I just always had an ulterior motive with sex and love addiction until I learned that love and sex is supposed to be a byproduct of commitment and sharing and connection and cooperation and all these beautiful things. They talk about it. I never had any experience with it in that realm. I always just thought it was to be used as a tool and never as something that actually was something that was beautiful for engaging in a partnership with someone.[0:03:08] Ruby: My whole life on that.[0:03:10] Brianne Davis: Yeah, as we've discussed it before. I know for me, I would put on these masks to become someone else. I never wanted to show the real me.[0:03:22] Ruby: Yeah. Which is really exhausting and very painful. And then I think as you get older, we get tired of wearing a mask all the time. You need to breathe, whereas when you're not being who you are, you are imploding on yourself. You're keeping everything kept inside. So I think recognizing that I had that thing, which was like why I always felt so weird about intimacy and relationships kept me so disconnected from my partners. So I was able to have a partnership with friends, like girlfriends. I could have great relationships with girlfriends. I felt super connected. I was able to be super intimate with my girlfriends in the way that we communicated and whatnot. But when it came to a partner where there was actual physical intimacy and the friendship, I didn't know how to combine the two. I could have intimacy, but I didn't know how to be friends with those people. I just knew that I had to put on my little sex kitten characteristic and be this little thing to make them think about me the way I wanted myself to be looked at as, which kept me far away from being able to be who I was and also from being able to speak out for what I needed. So it was a long, long lot of years worth of not being who I was in my intimacy life and it was very painful looking back at it.[0:04:38] Brianne Davis: So let's say you've been around and you've looked at it and you've done the work. But now I really want to discuss the anorexia side of it because I haven't actually discussed that yet. So I'm interested if you want to explain that to the listeners.[0:04:54] Ruby: Yeah. So anorexia in the realm of sex and love addiction is the same as like food addiction where eating disorders in the realm. Plus I have that too. When I was younger, I did a lot of messing around with anorexia as far as in the food realm, what it is, it's a fear of overeating. So you tend to undereat and the smaller you can become, the safer you feel. So it's kind of like that. With sexuality, the way that it manifested was I would go really quickly into a relationship with someone. Like, I would meet someone and I would probably be sleeping with them that.[0:05:29] Brianne Davis: Day and then moving in and then like, no, I didn't really do that.[0:05:34] Ruby: A lot of my time I didn't.[0:05:35] Brianne Davis: Either, but I know a lot of people.[0:05:37] Ruby: I know a lot of people that do that. I was too smart for that because I knew that just down the line. Also, that was too scary because the anorexic part of me would be like, that would make me crazy if I had to be around that person for too long because I feel like I need to get away. I couldn't tolerate that kind of intimacy. So anorexia in the realm of sex and love addiction is sort of getting like I would just have a casual sex encounter with someone because it was a lot safer than letting somebody see me or letting myself see someone else. And it had only to do with the body and the physical sensation, but nothing to do with connection. Right? Yeah. And then all of a sudden, I didn't have to get turned off by that person, by what thing they might do or say that would turn me off. So it was a way to stay very disconnected, very unintimate. But you're having intimacy, which is such a really strange dual thing. You're being intimate, but you don't know the person at all, and you're allowing yourself to be physically intimate. But getting to know someone was far too scary, so quick. Intimacies with strangers was a lot more comfortable for me. And anorexia kicks in in that I would go long periods of time without being with someone, so terrified to actually allow myself to be intimate with someone.[0:06:53] Ruby: And then I would get to where having a quick intimacy to someone was starting to hurt me too much. It started to feel too painful. So I would then just be like, I'm not going to be with anyone until I feel really comfortable with someone. But the anorexia part of me would not let myself get to know someone well enough to feel comfortable. So then I would go through these periods of time where I was feeling very anorexic.[0:07:15] Brianne Davis: So it's withholding it's withholding yourself and your sexuality. It's withholding I definitely know what that feels like for me. It's easier too, to be intimate with someone I don't know than intimate with someone I love. The two didn't go together. So how long were the periods of you being anorexic sexually?[0:07:38] Ruby: I mean, there were some times where I would go two years without having being sexual with someone. Maybe I'd have a make out session here or there, but there would be sometimes two years. I think the longest is maybe. I think three years is complete, no abstinence from sex, but like I said, a few little makeups and those few little make outs, or there would be like three years of complete and total abstinence from sex, thinking that I was doing something really good for myself. Yeah, myself for the right thing. And then I'd meet someone, and then that night I'd sleep with them. I'd be like, what just happened? How did I go from not being with anyone for three years thinking that I was going to do the right thing for myself and save myself until I felt connected to someone? And then I meet someone and my brain goes into just like an alcoholic who's been sober, thinking like, I'm not going to drink that drink. I don't need to drink that first thing. Then you're like, I could just have a sip. It'll be okay. Yeah. And I'm not an alcoholic, but that's from what I've read. That's so funny to me, but that's how it works in the realm of sexual addiction and sexual anorexia is I can go being very strong about it, and I'm not going to have an encounter with someone that's not connected.[0:08:52] Ruby: And then I just meet someone and then they look at me a certain way, and then I think, just hang out with that person. I haven't been with anybody in a while. And then all of a sudden, they'll be trying to be sexual with me. And I'll be like, no, I'm not going to go there. And then they get aggressive enough. And to me, that's like a go. Like, if somebody's going to be aggressive enough and that's the part of me that I really check into, was the part of me that needed that person to be that aggressive to where then I would just roll over and be like, okay. And that scared me that once somebody got aggressive and over me, then I would just be like, okay.[0:09:27] Brianne Davis: Do you know what that ties from? Did you tie it back to anything?[0:09:31] Ruby: I mean, I've done so much writing on it. I think ever since the beginning of my intimacy life, I always heard in my voice the voice in my head was my mother being like, don't let men touch you. They'll hurt you. They'll try to take advantage of you. They'll hurt you. All this negative, negative, negative, negative. So I have this total like, no. And then what happens? I say no, but then if somebody come along and be that aggressive, I would think, wow, they really must like me. They really want to be with me.[0:10:04] Brianne Davis: That makes sense.[0:10:05] Ruby: Yeah. So then my head will think, well, I guess maybe this is meant to be since they really want to be with me, but not like, thinking in terms of like they just want to get laid. They're going to be a little bit some people are a little shy and.[0:10:16] Brianne Davis: They are like, they need me. I need to give them this because they need it so bad. They want me so much.[0:10:24] Ruby: Yeah. And that makes me feel important. Like, they must really want me. I must be really valuable that they're really going to try to push me. Not thinking like, my no should be my no is enough, but also the anorexic part of the no part of my voice will keep going for three years because I keep saying, no, no, no, the anorexic part of me until someone is aggressive enough. And then I'm like, okay, well, they really want me, so I should say yeah, because maybe I haven't been with anybody a long time. Maybe I just need to let go and just relax about this. This is quick switches of my brain out.[0:11:03] Brianne Davis: Here's my question for you and for other people that don't understand this. Do you find that the anorexia side of this disease very hard? I almost find it more difficult to overcome than the acting out part.[0:11:18] Ruby: Do you agree? Yes. Because you can get caught in that cycle of I'm not going to let the part of me that will keep saying no because I'm so afraid of letting someone in. And the big umbrella of the whole thing is I'm so terrified to let anyone know me and really see me. So that part of me is stronger, is really strong, so I can go long periods of time. And like I said, there are these moments of, like, amnesia where I forget and I'll just sleep with somebody after two years of no one. Right? At that one moment, I'll just be like, he's really cute. He's really sweet. I'll just whatever, let's just have fun. Because there's that part of me that just thinks, let's just live a little. Let it go. But that's the extreme other side. There has to be like a middle ground is what I'm finding is like, that's not okay and not and not they say the anorexia of Sly is not doing something and not doing something and not doing something just like you can. Like I'm noticing in my writing and all my growing right now, my issues have been coming up for me is like change.[0:12:25] Ruby: Change is really hard for me.[0:12:27] Brianne Davis: It's hard for a lot of people. Just so you know, change is very difficult for people.[0:12:32] Ruby: It's really hard. But I find it easier when I have people around me that support me. But I've kind of been solo for a little while, and so I really find that change thing has really been triggering for me of, like, I'm trying to make some decisions about to move or to not move or to rent my house or not rent a house or to stay or to not. Or I get to invite someone to rent part of the house. I've had ongoing things like that and my fear of making a mistake. Maybe it's the mother in my voice, the mother had saying, you're going to make a mistake and you're going to screw yourself over and you're going to get hurt. They're going to hurt you, they're going to take you. It kind of bled through now. That's an old story, and I've slowly been trying to move that story out from the forefront of my path because it's blocking me from taking risks and jumping in and jumping in the current. Like, I read something beautiful about how awesome is that when you can jump in the current and not grab the sides, not be gripping the sides of the little riverbank because you're so terrified of where you might end up. But to actually release your fingers and trust something much bigger than you and see where that flow takes you. That's been my journey lately, is prying my fingers off of everything. And COVID has actually been really helping me with that because it's such a weird powerless time period right now for everybody that having to prime my fingers off everything that I think I know and let go and see what's coming down that river.[0:14:00] Brianne Davis: Yeah, I agree. That's exactly what we are working on is just like letting go and whatever is going to be, is going to be, and we're always taking care of. But I do want to get back at this anorexia thing and I want to attach this kind of shame of anorexia withholding yourself, with these seven deadly sins, not in the religious sense, but more in the character defect sense. So I'm going to name them for you. Okay, we got Pride, greed, lust, gluttony, envy, anger and sloth.[0:14:31] Ruby: Okay. So the biggest ones for me are pride and sonic amount of pride about looking good, which is also tied into like, people pleasing how I want people to see me as opposed to what I actually am wanting to control, that there is some lust takes over a little bit sometimes. Read them again.[0:14:56] Brianne Davis: We have greed, lust, gluttony, envy, anger and sloth.[0:15:01] Ruby: There is some greed. I find there is a part of me that I want to hold on to everything physically, metaphorically, monetarily, control. I want to hold on to everything in the way of it's a greed thing to me. It's not open handedly like money. I read something else, like money. I'm on a growing spur right now. Money. Every time you spend money, I read something that said you're supposed to say, well, in this particular thing you said, Arigato, money going out. Arigato, money coming in. So thank you to the money going out and thank you to the money coming in just as much as the money coming in. The money going out should be a thank you. And to me, that is where gluttony or greed is the same with withholding sex. It's the same withholding my connection to intimacy. Allowing somebody to see me. It's covering it's, holding myself small.[0:16:08] Ruby: It's the same as trying to control everything, keeping it in my hands rather than opening my hands. I think those are the big ones for me.[0:16:16] Brianne Davis: Well, I also think what you said with the money and with the sex, it's this flow. It's a flow, it's a continuous flow. And when you stop that energy, you're stopping the flow of you. Because my therapist used to tell me, like money, it flows out and it comes back in. It's just paper. There's actually no meaning behind it. And with sexuality, it's like you have to stay open and let that flow. So you find yourself closing down.[0:16:44] Ruby: Yeah, exactly. I love that.[0:16:46] Brianne Davis: So who has this anorexia side benefited and who has it harmed?[0:16:53] Ruby: Well, the illusion was that the anorexia was going to keep me really safe. But really, the anorexia has kept me really small and has kept me very disconnected and has kept me terrified. It's kept me small, physically, emotionally, mentally small and disconnected. So really, myself, who it's hurt is I would say that the anorexia part of me has hurt everyone that I'm in contact with. My family members, like my brothers and sisters, who see me kind of like get so hard about wanting to control things and trying to manage everything, which is like the anorexia is trying to keep everything just right and keep your food just small enough to where you stay small enough and keep your sexuality. Don't let it out too much because you might get hurt by someone, you might look.[0:17:50] Brianne Davis: Are you always worried too, with the anorexia, that you're going to lose control?[0:17:55] Ruby: Yes. And then there's fears that come with that, and the fears that come with that are like when I was young, I remember being terrified of STDs, like a physical thing. Like if you allow yourself to be, there are STDs. I had all these fears and in life, everything is possible. The truth is, it's like you can get an STD and it's not the end of the earth. But what it is is it's important to live. It's important to live. And also on the biggest scheme of the mall is to try something bigger than you. Yes, we have to take action to be safe, and yes, we have to know the people we're being involved with a bit, not do. And yes, we have to try something with someone. We're not 100%, but we feel pretty good about it and we've talked it out and we're reasoning things out with people that we trust, our God Squad team, because ultimately there is a God. There is a God and we're here on the planet and we're still here on the planet and there are everyday things happening and we're not in control of any of it, as we can clearly see now with COVID But there has to be a point of risk and a point of releasing your fingers from trying to figure everything out. And so the person I think really it's hurt. And it's hurt my partners, because the part of me that would become frustrated with my partners and fearful that I was not trusting them, then I would withdraw and then I would shut the wall would come down, boom. And then they couldn't see me.[0:19:34] Ruby: I would cover myself in my own wall from the anorexia. That would also prevent me from like that saying, whatever the walls that are keeping you from experiencing your joy will keep you from experiencing your pain. And we're supposed to be living life and feeling all of it so that you can have an experience. And I love that thing about like, your heart. Anorexic will try to protect its heart, protect itself. Don't have intimacy. You don't know, stay away from everyone, they're going to all hurt you. And so I love that thing where it says you want to, at the end of the day, have a heart that's scarred and ripped and has bled and has been beat up a bit. Because that means that you've been allowing love in. You've been allowed as opposed to one that is so preserved and so well cared for, because you've protected yourself from any good, any bad, any middle ground, and you've just stayed safe.[0:20:28] Brianne Davis: And I think you also hit on something that I love when you said the walls around you, that it's protecting you from the pain. But I think what's important is when the past, what I've looked at, it doesn't just keep out the pain, it does keep out the joy, it does keep out the happiness, it keeps out everything. You don't get to choose which emotion you can keep in and keep out. If you're closed off, you're closed off to all the emotions and yourself and.[0:20:58] Ruby: You'Re closed off for yourself. I would say to my because my brothers and sisters, my family really see it because I'm really close to my family but they would always be like I would always be like I feel so shut down I can't get out. And they'd be like what's happening? I'm like, you did that thing that made me angry and stressed me out and then my wall came down and then now I'm stuck and it's really hard for me to soften once I've been hardened and my wall comes down. So it's been a really interesting journey of trying to learn to not let the wall shut down so that I can let some of the light come in. They say like the light comes in through the cracks, right? Yeah. And if you don't let any cracks open then no light can come in. And that's what's been my journey lately is letting myself open up across the board with everything and allow some light in so that I can take some risks and I can have some new experiences and that's been my journey and.[0:21:54] Brianne Davis: That you can give and take, like to others. There's an exchange. So my last question for you before we go is how do you move forward or how would you give advice to someone that is feeling stuck?[0:22:10] Ruby: I personally really love twelve sip programs. There's a program for every way that you mask your feelings. There's the drinker program, the beverage program. There's the anorexic if you're under eating your feelings away and trying to make yourself small. There's the overeater program if you're eating your feelings away, trying to avoid. There's the program for if you're using money to either hoard and hoard everything, thinking you're going to be safe if you hoard everything or those people who overspend where they have nothing left. There is a twelve step program for every situation gamblers every way I should speak for myself, but I know my experience is that most people have a way in which they cover themselves with.[0:22:54] Brianne Davis: Yeah, I call it everybody has an Ism.[0:22:57] Ruby: There you go. And there's an Ism program for everything. So I personally like Twelve Sit Program because there are no leaders, there's no governing people. Everybody kind of runs it and it's like free. Basically. You donate a couple of dollars, there's no like, oh, get a loan out on your house and we'll give you this course that will change your life. I've been in some of those too.[0:23:20] Brianne Davis: I have to.[0:23:21] Ruby: When you're feeling fragile, you'll do anything and I just think that's not fair when someone is vulnerable to dive in underneath them and grab them and then take advantage of them. So I think Twelve Sit Program to me is a safe way to take a look at your stuff. And then of course, therapy is always great. I think it's always good to talk things out with someone who really understands. And I think it's really important to create a God squad around you. People that you learn, that you meet through your Twelve Sip programs, a community of people that you feel you can call for different things and that you can be there for them too. Because as they say in Twelve Step, you can't keep what you don't give back. So if I get to learn all this cool stuff, I don't get to keep it unless I share it. So it really makes it a program of like you have to give back. Because if you don't give back and you're just lazy, like, I already got the good, I already feel good, I'm just going to go off now and live my life then that's the wrong way to look at it. The right way to look at it is, okay, I got it. Now I have to give it away so I can keep it.[0:24:19] Brianne Davis: Yeah, I mean, really, that's the only way.

A PBSE listener sent in a very raw and vulnerable situation and question. Here's what she said— I've heard the term "sexual anorexia" and this describes [my husband] to a tee! I've been binging your podcast recently and it seems you guys are always talking about wives setting boundaries around not having sex until feeling safe, but I have the opposite issue. He never wants to have sex with me. He wants to be in a relationship but I don't think he sees me as a sexual person anymore.He's always trying to stay busy. Work is always an issue. He avoids any romantic situations. He doesn't touch me other than a quick kisses and a hug here and there in the morning and at night. We get along great. Live together and work from home, but no connection, no intimacy and no sex. Literally like friends/roommates. I guess I just feel left out because I listen and it seems to be always the sex starved man and they don't want to be denied sex, but what about the opposite side of the spectrum? I'm going to address our boundaries and therapy again as a last resort.This dear woman is right! There are more situations than people would think where it's the man in the relationship that is not interested in sex.

“You are what you eat.” We are continuously negotiating our identity through food, setting the boundaries of the self. Inscribed into the symptoms of anorexia is an unconscious conflict of identity, which has something to do with one's own longings and cravings, with a hunger for the other. In psychodynamic therapies, these longings become part of the therapeutic exchange, while also leading to a characteristic dilemma.

The post Ep375: From Emotional Eater to Anorexic? appeared first on Heal your Hunger.

This podcast is going to get dark. And graphic. This episode is a cautionary tale of just how grim it can get in the throes of disordered eating, anorexia, and mental illness. But it's also a tale of hope, because my guest Jake tells his story of how he came out the other side of his eating disorder with a newfound respect for his fitness, and a far healthier body and mind to show for it. Before finding my work, Jake developed body dysmorphia and an eating disorder. He was diagnosed with anorexia at the age of 17, hospitalized, and relapsed a number of times. In this interview, Jake tells his story of what it was like navigating his mental illness and eating disorder, losing his college tennis scholarships, dealing with refeeding syndrome, and more. Things could've ended very poorly for Jake, but luckily things turned around for him. When he found The Little Black Book of Workout Motivation, he was able to change his relationship with fitness (and even his performance in school). Now he's been able to find what works for him with his training and diet, and not go down a bad path like before. I wanted to bring Jake on the show because while his exact story isn't commonplace, perhaps it can be motivating for anyone who's taken a misstep in their life or fallen on dark times. After all, everyone has their own demons they're battling and can overcome. So if you're looking for a jolt of inspiration and like motivational stories, definitely listen to this episode.

Where once anorexia was considered an obscene way to advertise, obesity has now become the new skinny. Diet and weight have become extremely divisive elements within society, and the other end of the spectrum or scale is now being glorified. Companies like PepsiCo famously told consumers that exercise alone would protect them from soda. However, it turns out that psychologically people consume more when fed this information. Likewise, selling products in smaller containers, with green logos, slogans, and health halos, contribute to profit rather than our health or that of the planet. Now companies are just telling consumers that they have the power, with a subconscious implication that the power is to buy a product. The whole idea is that you can buy whatever you want and eat whatever you want, whenever you want. Coke is even actively discouraging physical movement of any kind. Advertisers are also using ultra-small minorities in uncommon characterizations to market products, acting as if they care about obese black women surfing or gay men in high heels dancing on a stripper pole - this is an actual commercial. The flaunting and glorification of skin and bones have now become the flaunting and glorification of fat.
