On the one hand, it can provide structure and stability. On the other hand, it can actually reinforce pressure, control, and perfectionism. In this episode of the Leontienhuis video podcast, we explore that tension. After all, how do you deal with work when you are simultaneously just surviving? And what does work mean during recovery? Our topics covered: • why many people with an eating disorder continue to function – sometimes even “too well” • how work can become a way to avoid feeling • why openness can be so difficult, but also helpful • and how to build a new, healthier relationship with work Together: Elise (host) | Jeanette (Operations Director & Coach at Ruisch Coaching) | Mariëlle & Lianne (experts by experience) 𝗜𝗻 𝗱𝗲𝘇𝗲 𝗮𝗳𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗲: ✔️ Why you can function well on the outside, while things are not going well on the inside ✔️ How perfectionism and control can reinforce work as a coping mechanism ✔️ Why recovery requires learning to look at work and your boundaries anew Work can be a pitfall, but also an important support in recovery. The difference often lies in how you handle it, and whether it fits with where you are at that moment. The key takeaway: recovery means not only getting better, but also relearning how to work, live, and take care of yourself. Do you need help or would you like to know more?
