Am I the only one super annoyed by therapybyemily_ on Instagram??
I know she’s arguably not an EDrecovery ~girlie~ but I think she has spoken about having recovered from an eating disorder and a lot of her content is focused around eating disorder therapy. But I feel like her content is actually lowkey really disordered and problematic! And I never see comments calling it out, it seems like everyone thinks she’s really doing something by sharing her therapy hot takes …. sometimes I’ve even wondered if it’s satire because it feels so problematic. And to be fair I don’t actually have any issues with her outside of her ED recovery content (I think she does fashion and stuff too and idrc). But the “This is what someone without an ED eats in a day” videos often don’t have enough food in them and I feel like could be a really big hurdle to clients who are considering recovery and could have to eat much larger amounts of food. Sorry, but it’s not normal to cut up candy bars into pieces - two veggie tacos with a low calorie chicken patty are not dinner - and in a recent video, she even said exercise is only beneficial to your mental health if you’re working out at 60-80% of your max heart rate 3-5 times and week (while in activewear with a thigh gap) and specifically that “your hot girls walks aren’t cutting it.” IMO she should have her license revoked and is bad as Colleen but seems like that’s just me??
