In this episode, we will explore the concept of distress tolerance, the ability to experience difficult emotions, urges, and physical sensations without using eating disorder behaviors to escape them. You'll learn why avoidance keeps eating disorders alive, how urges naturally rise and fall like waves, and practical strategies to help you tolerate discomfort without bingeing, purging, restricting, or avoiding food.

If you've ever felt trapped in the cycle of running from discomfort, this episode will show you why learning to stay with it may be the most powerful step toward food freedom.
