Rhonda Lenair is a medical intuitive who helped me recover from bulimia.

I remember when I first learned about Rhonda. It was in one of those magazines they give out at health food stores. At the time, I was pretty much at rock bottom in my desperation to recover. I was desperate to do something to change my life.

The advertisement caught my interest — and while I was not sure what to believe, it reasonated with me somehow. I secretly POURED over Rhonda’s website for hours, trying to make a decision to spend more money than I’d ever thought I was worth for a healing service.

I decided to take a chance and invest in my recovery from bulimia.

In part one of How to Deal with Physical & Emotional Pain in Eating Disorders Recovery, I outlined the typical pain experienced in recovery and some of the reasons why we have that pain.

In this post, I would like to share some of the solutions that I used to deal with pain in my recovery.

Most of my clients, like me, want natural treatments for digestive pain or other physical and emotional pain. The good news is, there are so many options…you may even have some of your own favorites and I’d love to hear about them!

I have had many questions lately about dealing with physical pain in recovery.

If you currently have an eating disorder, you may have pain. In fact, you may be in a holding pattern with pain, where it has become the norm for you. So much so that you don’t really feel it.

Some of the pain I had before recovery from bulimia:

• Foggy thinking - I had a great memory and while I often felt full of energy, I felt like I had to expend extra energy working through a veil of fog during my day.
• Digestive pain - gas, bloating, constipation and often, crippling digestive pain.
• Body pain - The track of pain was in the “stomach meridian” in Chinese medicine (from my mouth, up to my head and down through my neck, to my shoulder and all the way down to my big toe). While the pain varied, it was interesting to see that it tracked this meridian. Even more interesting is that the spirit of this meridian is “purpose of life,” the orifice is the mouth and the chakras are the 2nd and 3rd (solar plexus, our power house).

I had the same idea I think we all have…in recovery, I’ll feel much better, right?
