Body Recovery Group

BRG update
Hi y’all, thank you so much to everyone who weighed in on my poll yesterday. I put it on this account and also my personal account, and all the input helped clarify two main points. One, this is a service that people do want, and twice a month sounds good to them. It sounds great to me too. And two…
Two is that I am overloaded and cannot output enough to run even a once a month group, let alone a twice a month. And I should take care of my current pressing issues, hopefully settle into this new life and chapter (parenting), and reevaluate in a few months how many spoons I can offer to BRG.
I always hope that when I cancel, step back, or pause, I’m modelling and encouraging not pushing yourself. Getting to know and honouring your limits. Rest rest rest.
So, group is paused for the foreseeable future. I hope to check in from time to time and even post some content. I at the very least will keep sharing other great recovery offerings/services and content in this account’s stories.
My DM’s are still open and checked regularly, so if you’re struggling and want to chat or be pointed toward resources, please still feel free to message and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.
Much love,
💚Regan

Saw this post shared by a large account which prompted to reread it and realize how little I’ve really shared about how my philosophy has evolved in the last couple of years.
I have now fully left the cult of wellness and have been doing acute deprogramming work for the last I think two years. This old post shows how I was still partly in it, though I think I had one foot out the door for a while.
I knew that anti-eugenics is the new direction I wanted to take BRG when I did my little “rebrand,” but even though I knew BRG was founded in some white wellness stuff, I still didn’t really think about how some content would still carry some of that.
I often want to start this account from scratch again lol
For now let me say these things:
🌿your body is not a problem to be fixed
🌿if you have privileges you absolutely probably have thoughts and behaviors that DO need to be fixed
🌿eating disorders are diseases, not choices
🌿we need to do so so so much more community care and that includes fighting for just treatment and a safe world for EVERYONE
🌿so VOTE and get V@CCINATED (if it’s accessible) and if you don’t like that I said that, message me and I’ll totally talk about it with you

[A screenshot of my own updated caption under an orange post, the last line of which is visible and reads, “Reclaiming Health.” The caption update says, “UPDATE: Oo boy this makes is sound like I believe western medicine has NOTHING good and that is NOT true. Western medicine has so much knowledge and so many strengths. Wester medicine AND holistic health have BOTH been hijacked by white, eugenicist, purify/perfect the individual body s**t, and THAT’S what Body Recovery is against.”]
