    # Freeing yourself of self hate

   Details    Category: [Self-Help](https://eatingdisorderrecovery.net/blog/self-help/)  ![Fall_Beauty_08_025](https://eatingdisorderrecovery.net/images/Fall_Beauty_08_025.jpg)

If you have an eating disorder you criticisze and punish yourself. Your harsh self talk is relentless.

Bulimia, anorexia, binge eating and EDNOS all share this identity debilitating symptom.

Clearing yourself of self hate is fundamental to rcovery,.

Please know there is healing power in love, patient, and kindness.

*By recognizing the voices of self-hate*

*that take over our lives,*

*we can see the causes of suffering,*

*and by bringing that suffering into the light*

*of our inherent kindness and wisdom,*

*we are freed from it.-*
