Christy HarrisonHave you ever felt like your body has betrayed you? Bad things happen to good people all the time. Yet when we go through something painful, we often lack the self-compassion and optimism it takes to find our way out of our suffering. What makes some people more resilient than others? Their mindset — believing they will get through the adversity and in some cases, believing the difficulty changes them for good.

Resilience is a process we can all learn. The power of stories experiences. That’s why I created this Body Betrayal series. I’m bringing you the stories of people who have gone through difficulties with their bodies and found their way to a better well-being through self-compassion and acceptance. Each show will contain a letter from the guest to their body and then through our conversation we will unpack the guest’s unique experiences and insights.

First up is a colleague and friend of mine. Christy Harrison is a HAES dietitian and intuitive eating counselor who has also recovered from an eating disorder. Her wildly successful podcast, Food Psych, serves as an important touch point for people in recovery from eating disorders and the family and professionals who help them.
