When couples struggle with body image and eating issues together

My partner and I have both been struggling with our relationship to food and body image for years, and we keep triggering each other — when they're restricting I feel guilty for eating normally, when I'm having body dysmorphia days they try to reassure me in ways that make it worse. We love each other but we're stuck in these patterns where our healing gets tangled up with each other's pain.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people's recovery journeys are creating interference patterns that undermine both.
