<p>In this solo episode, Dr. Rachel Evans – chartered psychologist and hypnotherapist specialising in eating disorder recovery – shares two key themes from recent client conversations that offer valuable insights for anyone navigating recovery.</p><p><strong>Rethinking Control in Eating Disorders</strong><br>Rachel explores the often-cited belief that restrictive eating provides a sense of control. She encourages listeners to reflect on <em>what control really means to them</em>, suggesting that genuine control might actually lie in having <em>choices</em> around food, not in following rigid rules.</p><p><strong>Challenging Absolute Beliefs or “Truths”</strong><br>From the famous Kate Moss quote to the idea that “nothing hits like a binge,” Rachel discusses how certain ingrained beliefs may feel true but might be worth questioning – especially when they come with negative consequences. She invites listeners to explore the origins of these beliefs and whether they truly serve them.</p><p><br></p><p>🎧 <strong>Listen if you&#39;re looking for</strong>:</p><ul><li><p>Gentle, thought-provoking ways to shift your mindset in recovery</p></li><li><p>Validation and real talk about common challenges</p></li><li><p>Encouragement to explore your own version of a nourished life</p><p><br></p></li></ul><p><em>Please remember that this podcast shares opinions and information, it isn’t for the diagnosis or treatment of an eating disorder, mental or physical health issues.</em></p><p><strong>Connect with Rachel</strong></p><p><a href="https://eatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://eatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/rachel.evans.phd/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.instagram.com/rachel.evans.phd/</a></p><p>Book a free 30 minute clarity call: <a href="https://bit.ly/ClarityCallRachelEvans" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://bit.ly/ClarityCallRachelEvans</a></p>
