Episode 150: Trusting the Process with Special Guest Dr. Marcella Raimondo

It's Not About Food Podcast with Laurelee Roark

Recovery from body hatred and disordered eating provides many layers of learning that unfold uniquely and spontaneously. “Trusting the Process” means that we all work through these experiences and issues in our own way. We can trust that our process is exactly right for us and we don’t have to waste precious time comparing ourselves to others.

For a decade in my teens and early twenties I battled with anorexia nervosa. As a queer, cisgender, able-bodied woman of color, I struggled in my recovery because my story did not mirror those in mainstream eating disorder textbooks and biographies.

After reading the testimonials of women of color and queer women in A Hunger So Wide and So Deep, by Becky Thompson, I found voices that resonated with my own life experiences. I began to realize that a huge gap exists in the treatment services for underrepresented and underserved folks with eating disorders. My life’s calling and social justice spirit came out of this experience.
