You’re Not Too Much: Setting Boundaries & Asking for What You Need in Eating Disorder Recovery

Have you ever been told you’re “too much”? Too sensitive, too emotional, too everything? 😣 Let’s flip that script. You’re not too much—you’re a human with real needs. 💖

In eating disorder recovery, asking for what you need can feel scary, awkward, or downright impossible—especially if you’re neurodivergent, a people-pleaser, or grew up hearing that your needs were “too big.” 🚫 But guess what? Boundaries are not selfish. Advocating for yourself is not a burden. And needing support is so valid. 🫶

In this solo episode of Dr. Marianne-Land, we’ll cover:
✨ Why setting boundaries is essential for healing
🧠 How masking, trauma, and neurodivergence can shape your ability to ask for support
🗣️ Scripts + tips for communicating your needs (without apology)
🌈 A reminder that your needs matter—and you’re allowed to take up space
