Ep. 196: How Humor Can Support Recovery (with Coach Julie)

About this episode

Kathryn and Coach Julie discuss how humor can aid in the recovery from binge eating and eating disorders.

Kathryn and Coach Julie explore how gentle humor can support recovery—without minimizing the seriousness of binge eating or eating disorders. You’ll learn how bringing some laughter into certain situations can help pull you out of fight-or-flight and harsh self-criticism, so you can make clearer, more grounded choices. You’ll also learn how humor can soften perfectionism, and change the way you relate to urges so that you can more easily dismiss them.
