Living in Your Element with Michele Gardiner, MC, CCC Recovery Bites

    • Mental Health

In this episode, I am joined by Michele Gardiner MC, CCC, a Registered Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) and Psychotherapist and the founder of ELEMENTAL Psychotherapy & Support Services. A passion born of both personal and professional experience, Michele has dedicated twenty years to supporting people and communities on the prevention and treatment of eating disorders and mental health issues. Recovered for more than 21 years, Michele’s personal recovery from anorexia and compulsive over-exercise has provided her with a greater understanding, compassion, and coping skills to uniquely support and promote healthy, sustainable recovery.

SOME OF THE TOPICS DISCUSSED:
• The benefits of grounding oneself.
• Ecotherapy and healing in nature.
• The impact of changing our relationship to our stressors.
• Decreasing impulsivity of behaviors and opening up options for recovery
• Embracing the feeling of your body.
• How the eating disorder serves as an umbrella over other issues and feeling states.
