Social media & receiving hate online.
How to accept SH scars & deal with comments from other people.
Advice for friends & family of those struggling.
Can it be triggering/ invalidating to be classed as 'recovered'?
Helpful treatment professionals vs traumatic experience with treatment.

Navigating ED recovery with Depression & PTSD (&insomnia)
Is recovery a privilege? Understanding different circumstances.

About Izee:

Izee shares her lived experience with mental illness on her Instagram platform to spread awareness, fight stigma, and provide a safe space for others online. She posts uplifting content about body acceptance and self care, while also being open about the realities of depression, complex PTSD, Self-Harm, and EDs.

I invited Izee onto the podcast because I believe her content is a rare example of a positive (but realistic) influence in the recovery community online. Thank you again to Izee for joining me!
