126. The Problem with Information Overload in HA and ED Recovery

Aug 30, 2021

Information overload. We've all been there. One second you decide to commit to recovery from hypothalamic amenorrhea, disordered eating or an eating disorder and then only a matter of days later you're ordering books, joining Facebook groups, following recovery accounts and binge listening to as many podcasts on the topic as you can.

While gaining information about the journey ahead can be useful, there are also drawbacks to investing too much time and energy into recovery.

In this podcast Lucy McConnell and I explore the dark side of information overload and help you find a healthy balance between recovery and life. In this episode we cover:

• The pros and cons of information overload when it comes to recovery from hypothalamic amenorrhea or an eating disorder
• Where you should and shouldn't be getting your information from
• Recovery accounts and their impact on your own recovery journey
• The trouble with too much information and switching up your recovery plan too often
• Tips for finding the right balance in recovery so you know enough to move forward without it becoming an obsession
