The Beauty of Rotten Lemons Eat, Girl, Eat

We all know the old saying, “when life hands you lemons, make lemonade.” Well, what if the lemons life hands us are rotten? What if we are unable to make a good situation out of a bad one? This is a theme that has been popping up in the community with frequency lately.
This is often when our disordered eating and other maladaptive coping mechanisms show up and try to take over. The question is, when life hands you rotten lemons, what can you do instead? The truth is that we don’t always have to make a bad situation good, and that a lot of our healing can take place when we learn to accept our circumstances instead of trying to change them.
Topics covered in this episode:
