* Trigger warning: Discussion of disordered eating
Jessie and Hilah help a listener who is worried that visiting her family for the holidays will trigger her bulimia. Hilah reveals her own past with disordered eating and Jessie relates her experience in Narcotics Anonymous and the notion of relapse as an erasure of progress. They offer tools that are backed by data (mindful eating, meditation) and some that have more limited research (Emotional Freedom Technique), and advise the writer to get comfortable with some discomfort because growth is uncomfortable. Also, to NA : Jessie has a VERY cool keychain now with a RED bottle opener on it- so she WINS.
