You can do all the inner work and still fall apart at the dinner table because someone commented on your plate, your body, or even their own.
This episode is about the relational side of binge and emotional eating. Your mum who's always on a diet. Your partner who makes comments. The friend who pushes food. The friend who won't eat anything. The people who love you and still make eating so much harder.
In this episode Nic covers:
Why other people's behaviour around food affects your recovery more than you realise

The four types of people who show up as triggers (and what's actually going on for them)

One practical tool for protecting your progress, with real scripted examples you can use straight away

What to do when someone doesn't respect your limits after you've set them

The people around you are part of the picture. This episode is about what to do with that.
