#007: Recovery from an Eating Disorder through Body Neutrality and Dance with Colleen Werner

Colleen Werner, a ballet dancer, writer, and therapist-in-training, joins Nia Patterson this week on the seventh episode of the podcast to talk about her life experiences growing up with an eating disorder in a weight centric family. She talks about her history with dance and how she has started to dance again late in her recovery and since she's become fully recovered from anorexia. We talk about body image and how we can counter it with body neutrality. We also talk about dating while in a fat body as well. Join us as we talk about being fat during our recovery from our eating disorders and ways to make peace/accept your body.
