Is Intuitive Eating a Good Idea in Recovery?

In this episode, Han and Emily discuss Intuitive Eating. The key takeaways are:

• Allowing intuition to guide us involves letting out body perform unconsciously. Therefore, there is a paradox in consciously deciding to begin to doing Intuitive Eating.
• Intuition is distorted by fear.
• Following your hunger and fullness is not necessarily safe to do in recovery, when these cues are very likely warped and compromised.
• Intuitive eating is not just the 'hunger and fullness diet'. It is about supporting your body, oftentimes proactively.
• Focus on clearing fear with intentionality. Mechanical processes are often required in any process that also involves fear
