One of the greatest stories of anorexia recovery we’ve ever heard. After several admissions & years in psychiatric hospitals, almost a decade of professional help & medication etc that hardly changed a thing, Nicole has recently made a tectonic shift that now see’s her living a healthy, normal and fulfilling life. In this episode we discuss: - Nicole's harrowing journey with anorexia that almost took her life - The 2 main things that contributed to her recovery - In-patient hospitalisation experiences - Issues relating to current psychology treatment models - School bullying and it's impact of self esteem - The curious and complex nature of eating disorders "No matter if 4 doctors told me exactly the same thing, or the bloods show something’s wrong, or my body is physically not strong enough to walk... my mind was so oblivious to it because it didn’t believe it. The voice is a huge belief, it would tell me I wasn’t out of the woods yet, that I wouldn’t get better. I had very few social connections, so this voice became like my friend. And so no matter what anyone told me, the voice told me they were lying, and so I believed it. Yet deep deep down I knew the truth.”
