ANOREXIA: LYING TO HERSELF AND STRUGGLING TO ACCEPT WEIGHT GAIN

TRIGGER WARNING: Robin holds up a strong and brutal mirror...an abrupt and harsh reality of telling the truth. This is very difficult for people who suffer with eating disorders to do, and often people want to be enabled--which perpetuates the disorder. When people come to Robin for help, she takes the role of holding a strict NO-LIE and bullshit boundary. This is imperative to escaping the body image and disorder to access recovery. Without strict responsibility to the TRUTH, nothing changes. In order to make change, it is imperative the person suffering is willing to tell themselves the truth, and having a person hold them to it, gives them a sense of freedom and safety to do it for themselves. Often, coaches and therapists are too lenient with lying or aren't aware forms of denial are actually occurring. The result of having a strong rejection of denial by Robin, the client is put in a position to actually make change and ultimately recovery.

For this client, after experiencing freedom, she is now noticing that freedom is diminishing because she's scared she's gaining weight. This is a great conversation connecting the freedom with acceptance, and the connection to suffering and denial. This is a case where the truth does actually set you free.

SCARE TACTIC: HAIR LOSS ON THE HCG PROTOCOL

I've observed over one thousand hCG protocols and personally assisted over 500 people through multiple rounds. From what I've observed with patients, daily administering 125 iu of hCG with Dr. Simeons' very low calorie protocol, only 4 people have brought to my attention their hair loss. The first was a trans-gendered woman (male to female). The second was a woman who lost hair during pregnancy and wasn't worried as she knew her hair would grow back. The third patient had a sensitivity to dry climate (after adding back conditioner her hair stopped falling out). And the fourth, started her second round of the protocol while experiencing debilitating stress and depression, she eliminated both proteins from her diet, and she cheated consistently each week with sugar. Needless to say, if we had known the mental state of this fourth patient, we would not have prescribed her a second round of the hCG protocol. The question I'd like to ask is why are there ...

BLOWING OUT SOMEONE ELSE'S CANDLE TO MAKE YOUR'S SEEM BRIGHTER

Other people’s criticism, or judgment of what is wrong or bad about somebody or something, is merely a reflection of their need to control and dictate rules, guidelines, and boundaries. They are enforcing apon other's the principles by which they use to feel better about themselves. Their criticism is also a reflection of what makes them feel insecure. Otherwise they wouldn’t take the time and effort to impose their opinion with the intent to put other’s down. It is this type of controlling person that attracts chaos, and expresses criticism that constantly wreaks havoc, attracts conflict, and draws attention towards to their need for attention and control. Could it be that their bias is what they think gives them value, that they like the control they feel when people submit to their judgments, or that criticizing others puts them higher-up in a pecking order? Is their offensive attack to protect and contr...

DOES COLD THERAPY IMPROVE PMS, REDUCE THE SIZE OF A BREAST LUMP, AND MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE?

A year ago I noticed something very frightening: a lump in my right breast/arm pit area. After three months of observation, I noticed it would increase in size and tenderness about 10 days before my period, but would disappear as soon as I started my menstrual cycle. Then, again, it would appear about ten days before the following period. I scheduled a breast exam with two different doctors and both said it wasn’t something I should worry about. Each month I noticed it was slightly bigger and more obvious than the previous month. By this past February, it was worth worrying about. There was no doubt in my mind I had a problem, so I scheduled another doctor’s visit as well as a mammogram and ultrasound. By the time I got the mammogram I had started my period, the lump was smaller, and nothing was found. I left the exam both excited, but also feeling a bit crazy. This is where cold therapy comes in. I had been reading the blogs written by Dr. Jack Kruse where he des...
