Honey Are You Happy Joss Walden

In this episode I talk through how to apply the skill 'opposite action' in recovery from an eating disorder.

Opposite action is a skill from Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT). I give personal insights, plenty of examples and practical advice around how to successfully utilise this skill in your own recovery.
