Cognitive distortions are patterns of thought that distort our perception of reality, cause us to misinterpret situations, magnify negative emotions, and hold unrealistic expectations of ourselves, others and the world.

In this Q&A episode, I answer listener questions on identity in recovery, balancing planning with flexibility, fears about eating more, urges for “unhealthy” foods, navigating recovery during menopause, and coping with the numbers on the scale. We explore the practical and psychological realities of eating disorder recovery, including how to handle ambivalence, break the “earn your food” rule, and build a life that expands beyond the disorder.

"I reached out to Chris, two months after I had sworn to myself that I’d never again enrol in any sort of counselling. Almost ten years of struggling with a restrictive eating disorder, four attempts of seeking professional help, and countless times of trying to recover on my own, had left me feeling hopeless. Moreover, the last shot I took at recovery resulted in an intense period of binge eating. When it started showing on the scale, I considered myself recovered and went back to a “I will restrict again but this time I‘ll be smart about it“ mentality. So..."
"I cannot imagine where I would be today were it not for Chris Sandel of Seven Health. I came across his work at some point in 2019 after entering treatment in March of the previous year for a very long history of anorexia nervosa that had begun almost four decades before. Despite working with a nutritionist and a therapist for more than a year, I was still firmly entrenched in the hellish prison of “quasi” recovery, unable to comprehend how I could completely walk away from what I believed to have been my identity for as long as I could remember...."
