S2, Ep 6 - Connor Spratt

How To Breathe So You Don't Look Fat

Connor Spratt is a 22 year old, living in Edinburgh, working in mental health. I came across his account via the wonder of iWeigh and his ability and strength to talk about what it's like as a young male with an eating disorder, really struck a chord. I've been looking forward to chatting to him about his own experiences, and all that he's learned during his recovering. We talk about his feelings of invalidation and emasculation in relation to his eating disorder, the challenge that men have talking about their feelings, and navigating the tricky waters of activism when in an ongoing journey of recovery.

If you are a young man, if you know a young man, and even if neither of those things are true, it really is a conversation worth hearing and I'm grateful to @recoveryconnor for taking time to chat to me.
