Our Wounds are what Helps Others | Isabelle Tierney

In my history because I grew up with a lot of trauma as a child. That's the way I learned to cope with my trauma. I developed, like many good girls, an eating disorder. I had everything on the outside. You know, I got the two master's degrees. I went to a really incredible boarding school. I had all the things. But I struggled with food and body image, and I struggled with one of the forms of eating disorder. I struggled with bulimia. And so my own healing journey really informed my desire. As many of us, right, our wounds are often what we end up helping people with. That's why I wanted to work with women. It was mostly women. It was like 90% women who had eating disorders as well. Because I had found a way. I had found a way. And that's why hospitals were calling me, because I was not working unless they were seriously sick and medically dangerous. I was working from a place of acceptance, like, oh, you're using this coping skill, which is. Which is really not working for you. Can we see these other coping skills to make you feel better?
