Carolyn Costin: Key Four - Feel Your Feelings, Challenge Your Thoughts
In this transformative episode of RenourishED, we delve into the heart of emotional and cognitive healing with Carolyn, the author behind the pivotal Key 4: “Feel Your Feelings, Challenge Your Thoughts.” Carolyn opens up about the profound inspiration for this key—her realisation of the integral role emotions and thoughts play in the journey of eating disorder recovery.
Highlighting the necessity to distinguish between feelings and thoughts, Carolyn offers insights into developing this crucial skill through mindfulness and reflective practices, particularly beneficial for those navigating the complexities of an eating disorder. She addresses common misconceptions, such as the invalidation of certain emotions or the unquestioned acceptance of harmful thoughts, illustrating why recognizing and questioning these patterns is essential for recovery.
With powerful narratives woven throughout her book, Carolyn shares a story from Key 4 that embodies the essence of confronting emotions and challenging the pervasive, negative self-talk often associated with eating disorders. She emphasises how mindfulness not only aids in this process but is a cornerstone practice for daily recovery efforts.
Carolyn provides practical strategies for individuals to engage in daily, reinforcing the importance of a compassionate approach to self-dialogue and the transformational impact of directly addressing the ED voice.
For those struggling to approach their feelings without judgement, Carolyn’s guidance shines a light on the path to acceptance and understanding. Finally, she reveals how Key 4 seamlessly integrates with the rest of the book’s principles, presenting a holistic and comprehensive approach to overcoming eating disorders, encouraging a journey towards healing that is both profound and empowering.
