Episode 206: Clinicians Corner Holiday Guide

This week on Clinicians Corner, Molly and Clarissa are diving into one of the most challenging times of the year for anyone in food addiction recovery: the holidays. With family pressures, social obligations, travel stress, and tempting food everywhere, it can feel overwhelming. But don't worry, we've got strategies to help you thrive this season!   🎧 Catch Key Takeaways: • Boundary Scripts: Learn how to redirect tricky conversations with ease. Example: "I'd rather not talk about politics today—how about your travel plans this year?" • Pre-Event Planning: Show up prepared! Eat a satiating meal beforehand and bring your own recovery-friendly options if needed. • Exit Strategies: Permission to leave early? Granted. Have a plan for when enough is enough. • Combatting Social Pressure: Flip the narrative! Share the positive benefits of your recovery instead of focusing on restrictions. Example: “Eating this way has given me so much energy and clarity—I feel amazing!” • Self-Care and Community: Recharge with solo rituals, mindful walks, or virtual support gatherings. Connection doesn’t have to be in-person to be meaningful. • Navigating Travel: Pack your recovery toolkit with snacks, know your options, and keep expectations realistic. Travel doesn’t have to derail your progress.   🎁 Bonus Resource: We've created a FREE 23-page Holiday Guide packed with strategies, scripts, and science-backed tools to help you navigate the season with confidence.
