On the eating disorder recovery road, your motivation for change will ebb and flow. Sadly, it is not a beautifully linear journey with marked destination posts and defined milestones. Wouldn't it be wonderful if it was! Prochaska and DeClemente's Cycle of Change offers a model for explaining the precarious change road with its inevitable ambivalence and turbulence. The model is not only for eating disorder recovery but can be applied to a myriad of transformation processes. This episode dives into the Cycle of Change and also explores 7 ways to boost recovery motivation.

Healing your inner child can be a valuable step in your recovery journey. But what exactly does this mean? Inner child work is a process of recognising, understanding, validating and healing emotional wounds that you experienced in your childhood and that continue to unconsciously impact your adult life. If you are experiencing challenges in your adult relationships or with regulating your emotions, then it's highly likely that you have some inner child work to do. It's true for most of us. This episode dives into inner child healing. What is it? How to do it? The benefits of this work. I hope that you find it helpful.

Your mindset can make or break your healing journey. With 60,000 plus thoughts per day swirling through your mind and many being repetitive, you can see the power of your thoughts to potentially affect your mood and behaviour. Repetitive thoughts can become entrenched beliefs, which create habits, which ultimately shape your life. As Lao Tzu aptly said: - ‘Watch your thoughts, they become your words; watch your words, they become your actions; watch your actions, they become your habits; watch your habits, they become your character; watch your character, it becomes your destiny'. Your thoughts can be hugely impactful in your eating disorder recovery. In this episode, I explore practical tips to support you on your journey. I hope that you find it helpful.   Harriet's Substack: https://substack.com/@theeatingdisordertherapist   Harriet Frew's current offers: - Online 10 Steps to Intuitive Eating Course https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/online-courses.html Online Breaking Free from Bulimia  https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/bulimia-nervosa-online-course.html Eating Disorders Training for Professionals https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/eating-disorders-training-with-harriet-frew.html Body Image Training for Professionals https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/body-image-training-with-harriet-frew.html

As a recovered bulimic, I am deeply fascinated by the psychology of this eating disorder. The interest goes way beyond the surface symptoms and food focus. Although I stopped binge eating and purging over twenty years ago, it has been an ongoing healing journey to work on the deeper psychology which plays out in relationships, self-worth and emotional regulation. As eating disorder recovery is a holistic healing process. It's not just about food. Symptom removal is an invaluable step in the right direction, but true healing runs far deeper. When I think about bulimic behaviours, these are not only restricted to people who binge and purge through vomiting. The following patterns are also relevant: Normal eating and purging. Chewing and spitting. Binge eating and over-exercising. Binge eating and restriction. Any pattern is relevant that follows the ingestion and expulsion cycle. If you are neurodiverse, particularly if you have ADHD, you may find that the themes I talk about are even more amplified for you. Before, I dive in, as always, I am generalising here, and your experience may not fit neatly into my observations. Always value your own truth and take what is helpful and ignore that which does not resonate with you).

How do you know if you have a healthy relationship with food and your body? This is an acutely challenging question to answer, as the culture normalises extreme eating practices and body image preoccupation as the norm. Maybe you feel that you don't have a full-blown eating disorder or you're not thin enough to properly struggle with food? I would argue that is your eating is causing you distress, it may be worth taking a closer look at it. In this podcast, I'm going to explore different disordered eating behaviours and then suggest some thoughts about what a healthy relationship with food might look like. I hope that you find it helpful.   Harriet's Substack: https://substack.com/@theeatingdisordertherapist   Harriet Frew's current offers: - Online 10 Steps to Intuitive Eating Course https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/online-courses.html Online Breaking Free from Bulimia  https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/bulimia-nervosa-online-course.html Eating Disorders Training for Professionals https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/eating-disorders-training-with-harriet-frew.html Body Image Training for Professionals https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/body-image-training-with-harriet-frew.html

Intermittent fasting (IF) is wellness cool again. Its benefits are celebrated widely on many a credible health podcast and it consistently trends on social media, described as an elixir to youth and offering benefits such as improved memory, blood sugar control, cardiovascular health, fat loss and autophagy. What's not to love? IF involves eating during specific time windows and there are various ways to practice this. The less-intense approach involves a 12-hour fast and 12-hour eating window, whereas, more hardened fasters might restrict their eating, to only 8, 6 or even 4 hours. Alternatively, you may also have heard of the 5:2 diet, popularised by the late Dr. Michael Mosley, where fasters eat ‘normally' for five days of the week, whilst fasting on the remaining two (limiting calories to less than 800 on the fasting days). Like most wellness practices, fasting is a tool. For some people it is life enhancing and for others not so. In this episode, I explore IF as a tool and how it can interlink with eating disorders and disordered eating. I hope that you find it helpful.   Harriet's Substack: https://substack.com/@theeatingdisordertherapist   Harriet Frew's current offers: - Online 10 Steps to Intuitive Eating Course https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/online-courses.html Online Breaking Free from Bulimia  https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/bulimia-nervosa-online-course.html Eating Disorders Training for Professionals https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/eating-disorders-training-with-harriet-frew.html Body Image Training for Professionals https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/body-image-training-with-harriet-frew.html

But through consistent, messy, and unglamorous work, she found freedom.This episode is a raw, hopeful reminder that change doesn't always come in dramatic before-and-after moments—it builds quietly. And one day, without realizing it, you might just wake up and realize you're not who you used to be.Perfect for anyone in recovery, stuck in an identity they want to outgrow, or wondering if lasting change is really possible...Get Renae's book HERE.Follow her on IG here.Visit her website HERE.

Send us a textTim Thomas is the man who is passionate about sleep!  Tim likes candles to create a space because two people speaking in it brings healing.  We shared the story of my cow that Dad had gifted me.  I bought a new one and I travel with it.  And Tim asked me where I felt this.  I showed it to be in my heart.  He said it creates balance.   As long as it's not like a "Wilson" , per se. (The movie Cast Away).So to sleep.  Speaking to how bulimia was a problem for me to have a peaceful sleep.  Tim shares that he said he couldn't sleep and they "threw a pharmacy at him".  He lost a lot of memories with the pharmaceuticals, and he shares that there is no one who can share how to get off of them.Simple breath work changes your brain work.   Not meditation, breath work.He spoke about messing up the enemy's sleep when he was in Afghanistan.  "If you want to destroy someone, destroy their sleep.  If you care, care about their sleep."  Sleep is like the soil of a tree.Tim sits in a place that is just behind all the things you really want - all the energy you ever want.Tim shares that he is two people.  The one with a lack of sleep - not so nice, and the other person who gets enough sleep well - nicer, doesn't eat as much, and stronger for investing in "this vessel".Tim is a breath worker.  He shares this with others.  It is what helps you become stronger and empowered.  Tim offers his app to people who struggle with sleeping, which helps with this breath chemical override.  He has breathwork at night and breathwork when waking up in the morning.Interesting that I spoke to my anxiety and did not know why.  Tim explained that I am high stimuli, so a stand-up desk with a stepper or something to keep me moving would help.  Being upright, or on a treadmill, would help with my anxiety.  It would help with my anxious energy.  So Tim shared the experience of breath with me and my listeners, and I said "I do" three times.  I never thought I would say "I do again" after my first marriage. :)  But this was worth it.  Saying "I do" to my own self three times.  I hope my listeners do this exercise.  It was very enlightening.We are electrical energy.  Hunching over pinches off our nerves and energy supply.  This I know and am aware of; however, on a daily basis, I forget, become aware, and forget again.The breath of possibility - hold on to it and bring it on.  Turbo buttons are your index and middle fingers pressing against your thumbs and work as a circuit breaker.  Breaks the rumination (over thinking) by using this and breath.Breath of Peace is where you need to be in a safe place.  You do the same breath techniques, but you wriggle it.  Interesting that Tim said our tension is often what we feel supports us.  Breath and relaxation with a chair, will allow your support. One thing to change your life and sleep - check this out.And then...  Tim shared with us how to find his app and contact him.Here is his email to me to help you find him. :)These links are for immediate and natural sleep improvement; They're my company's online resource called - The ‘Breathwork in Bed' app. The app will guide you to sleep with peace and out of bed with power. What's more is that we are currently GIVING AWAY 28 days free sleep.

If you want to stop binge eating or recover from bulimia, then we must address the deeper emotional roots of disordered eating. Mary sits down for a Part 2 with eating disorder psychologist, Dr. Anita Johnston, author of Eating in the Light of the Moon. In Part 1, we talked about the spiritual side of eating disorder recovery. Now in part 2, we zoom into the emotional layer beneath bulimia and binge eating. Dr. Johnston sheds light on the deeper emotional roots of disordered eating, especially the often-overlooked role of repressed anger and how learning to process it can be the key to lasting recovery. You will learn about... - common personality traits of those who struggle with disordered eating - the role of ANGER in eating disorder recovery - the ONE skill you need to effectively process anger - how storytelling and metaphors can help us heal from an eating disorder - how to address emotional patterns that lie beneath bulimia and binge eatingDr. Johnston also shares how her very first psychology professor—THE Viktor Frankl, the author of Man's Search for Meaning—inspired her approach to eating disorder recovery. Remember: Eating disorders are not about food. So to recover, we must explore the deeper layers of our struggle. Get Dr. Anita's free Food Metaphor Guide here. Anita Johnston, Ph.D., is a Depth Psychologist, Certified Eating Disorder Specialist, and author of Eating in the Light of the Moon: How Women Can Transform Their Relationships with Food Through Myth, Metaphor, and Storytelling, which has been published in seven languages.

Send us a textI can't tell you what a revealing Podcast this was.  Kat is wonderful.   Great guest.I was intrigued.  What is a Family Constellation Facilitator?  Who is this host of Healing with Kat?  Who may speak to my intrigue about past lives and future lives?  Healing when you have an eating disorder, or any disorder, is important to find a good person to help you, and you need a person who resonates with your belief in how you can overcome bulimia.This "future" and "past" self was interesting, because although I am always questioning my beliefs and thoughts of what is real and true and unexplainable, I met my ex-husband at 18 on my birthday, and went and told my friend I met my future husband.  7 years later, we were married.  15 years after that, we were divorced, and with 3 children.  I never ever thought I would marry, have kids.  I wanted to be single my whole life.  I am single now, and no regrets for what-ifs.  And I literally married that guy, I said was my future husband.  And a fun fact.  When I first saw him, it was like I had known him my whole life.  Or another life?  I always wondered.This is where I love Kat, because it was interesting to speak to the future self.  Kat also talks about the mom's wounds and the dad's wounds.  That is so my next podcast with her, because although my Podcast is hoping to help my listeners recover, I believe some of these issues are a part of our bulimic relationship with food.  Sounds strange, right?  A relationship with bulimia?   Not at all.  Bulimia can become our friend, and anything that is outside in the world that is real pain.  Food is not real pain, it's a kind of pain, except like anything else that is a "crutch" to go to.  It can pain you from being around people, knowing yourself, and your worth.I believe in what Kat is doing.  I am still not sure about my past self, but future self 100%, yet it has intrigued me for my whole life.  Why would I meet someone and say I will marry him with no idea?  My future self.  I believe that.  My future self also knew he would want me to go.  Dreams tell you that, too.  It wasn't all him... nor me... it was meant to be, and I could see it.  My future self was telling that... and to that I love what Kat believes in.  I believe too.  I also speak to my younger self, and she keeps asking me why we didn't make it as a movie star.  I tell her we came as close as possible and in a better way... I do videos every day for my Clients before they arrive for their vehicle.  I show the vehicle inside and out.  And I am thanked every day for little nothing thank you videos.  This is the answer.  We ARE mini movie stars every day.  Nothing has to be big to be beautiful.Kat, thank you so much for looking over my life, like you will do with everyone else.  Seriously, thank you.  I believe in you.I had to share my experience to make you understand, listeners, that you may not be sure.  I am.  My future self, I believe in.  She is there today and listen to her.  Kat can help you do that.Let Kat find yours.  Yes, past too, but fun fact is anyone who is intuitive like Kat will tell you, and she will teach you, how to reach out to your future self.  I absolutely believe.  :) With all my heart.I highly recommend you reach out to Kat at https://www.katdaou.com/Support the show

What's it really like to have lived experience with both bulimia and binge eating disorder (BED)? In this powerful episode, Dr. Marianne is joined by Registered Nutritional Practitioner Milda Zolubaite (@nutrition.path), who specializes in working with eating disorders. She shares her personal story of navigating life with co-occurring bulimia and BED. From the emotional chaos of swinging between restriction and compulsion to the mental toll of hiding such struggles, Milda brings raw honesty and deep insight. We talk about how diet culture can fuel the idealization of thinness, making it even harder to recognize and treat complex eating disorder patterns. Whether you're a provider, in recovery yourself, or just looking to better understand the lived realities of bulimia and BED, this episode will leave you feeling informed and inspired.

In this episode, I offer an alternative approach to getting beach body ready, which focuses on mental health and wellbeing.

If you're recovering from an eating disorder, you might well desire to eat all the foods that you have been depriving yourself of, as a rebellion against the restriction or dieting fatigue. You may have an all or nothing relationship with food. You're either being super-healthy and good, or chaotic and devouring everything in sight. Maybe you binge on ‘bad foods' that you would normally forbid yourself. In recovery, it's helpful to move towards permitting all these foods into your eating plan. This doesn't mean eating donuts for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Or throwing health goals out of the window. It's about embracing food neutrality and taking food off the pedestal of maximal pleasure. It's possible to achieve healthy eating (not orthorexic eating!), whilst honouring taste, satisfaction and pleasure. Understandably, you might not know where to start. This podcast episode will give your practical steps to make this possible. I hope that you find it helpful.   Harriet's Substack: https://substack.com/@theeatingdisordertherapist   Harriet Frew's current offers: - Online 10 Steps to Intuitive Eating Course https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/online-courses.html Online Breaking Free from Bulimia  https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/bulimia-nervosa-online-course.html Eating Disorders Training for Professionals https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/eating-disorders-training-with-harriet-frew.html Body Image Training for Professionals https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/body-image-training-with-harriet-frew.html    

Binge eating is not simply scoffing an extra biscuit, with your morning coffee break. Instead, it involves eating fast, an extremely large amount of food (more than you would eat for lunch or dinner), and usually in secret. It can feel like a dissociative or ‘out of body' experience. You are fully present and grounded on earth, but it feels as if demon has swept over you and taken all rational decision making away. Binge eating can fleetingly be euphoric and pleasurable. This is short-lived before guilt, shame and self-loathing descend like a dark cloud. Plus, the physical consequences of feeling over-full are deeply unpleasant and sometimes painful. Binge eating can happen across the different eating disorders and within disordered eating. You might have anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder or OSFED (Other Specified Feeding and Eating Disorder). Or you may not fit neatly into a diagnostic box. Fundamentally, if you are bingeing and your symptoms are causing you distress, you are worthy of support and help. In this episode, I discuss 5 emotions that drive binge eating and how to cope differently.   Harriet's Substack: https://substack.com/@theeatingdisordertherapist   Harriet Frew's current offers: - Online 10 Steps to Intuitive Eating Course https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/online-courses.html Online Breaking Free from Bulimia  https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/bulimia-nervosa-online-course.html Eating Disorders Training for Professionals https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/eating-disorders-training-with-harriet-frew.html Body Image Training for Professionals https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/body-image-training-with-harriet-frew.html

Therapy has the potential to transform your life in immeasurable ways. It can offer a wonderful container for much change and personal growth. Your therapist's competency and skills are a hugely important part in this process. But therapy is not a passive process. You can influence your experience and outcomes greatly. By taking responsibility and being an active participant in the journey, you have much to gain. Here I share some thoughts about how to squeeze the maximum juice and value from your therapy experience.   Harriet's Substack: https://substack.com/@theeatingdisordertherapist   Harriet Frew's current offers: - Online 10 Steps to Intuitive Eating Course https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/online-courses.html Online Breaking Free from Bulimia  https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/bulimia-nervosa-online-course.html Eating Disorders Training for Professionals https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/eating-disorders-training-with-harriet-frew.html Body Image Training for Professionals https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/body-image-training-with-harriet-frew.html  

Food is supposed to sustain us—but when you're chronically ill, even the act of eating can feel like an uphill battle. I've lived with chronic back pain for 21 years, and I know firsthand how pain, fatigue, and unpredictable symptoms can completely reshape your relationship with food. In this solo episode, I'm diving into the emotional, physical, and psychological toll of eating while managing chronic conditions like fibromyalgia, POTS, PCOS, and chronic fatigue syndrome. The mental and emotional weight of food decisions, social pressure, and grief around eating is very real. When food becomes linked with pain, restriction, or a way of coping, disordered eating patterns can easily take hold—often without us even realizing it. That's why it's so important to understand your needs and ask for accommodations. Asking for help is not a weakness—it's a deeply necessary act of care in a world that often misunderstands chronic illness. If you've ever felt dismissed, overwhelmed, or just plain exhausted by the effort it takes to nourish yourself, this episode is for you. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN ABOUT... How chronic illness can make eating physically and emotionally challenging—from symptoms like nausea and pain to fatigue and side effects from medication. The mental and emotional toll of food decisions, social pressure, and grief around eating is very real. How disordered eating patterns can develop when food becomes linked with pain, restriction, or coping. How flexibility, self-compassion, and doing what works for your body are key. How my personal experience living with chronic back pain for 21 years and how it affected my relationship with food.

Send us a textMy guest Dr. Betsy Holmberg, is a joy to have had on my Podcast.  Author of Unkind Mind, and an award-winning psychologist and author specializing in overthinking and negative self-talk. She writes for Psychology Today and has been featured on radio, television, and podcasts. Her first book, Unkind Mind, comes out June 1 by New Harbinger Publications. Before settling into writing and therapy, Betsy ran the global behavioral health service line at McKinsey & Company, a premier consulting firm, where she ranked in the top 5% of all consultants. She also worked at Harvard and co-authored several peer-reviewed academic journal articles on non-suicidal self-injury and suicidal thoughts. She is trained in Cognitive-Behavioral and Dialectical Behavioral therapies, and has treated clients of various ages and presentations. Betsy received her doctorate, master's, and B.A. in Psychology from Duke University.It was a joy to have her on as a guest and learn about DMN and CEN.  CEN - Central Executive Network.  And the DMN is the Default Mode Network.  Are you intrigued?  I was.  In the days that followed this podcast, I was more aware of the DMN.  I am an overthinker.  She will reveal the difference in this Podcast.I love that Dr. Betsy brings up that an eating disorder, and so too alcoholism, or any addiction, is a "coping mechanism".  She didn't minimize this as just a problem. She clearly states that it is a "coping mechanism", without any judgment, yet with a solution.   I highly recommend you learn more about her and her book, which will be available starting June 1st, by visiting https://betsyholmberg.com/.  And you can pre-order!  I already did.  Available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. The Unkind Mind.  What a great title.  Thank you, Dr. Betsy, for your time and for sharing your stories, your achievements, and your purpose from someone who overthinks even after recovering from bulimia.  This was truly insightful.Links:https://betsyholmberg.com/Unkind Mind Support the show

"I remember dieting a lot," Tatiana explained to Renée about her childhood, recalling that her mother regularly told her "You'd look prettier if you lost twenty pounds." Her mother's constant criticism corrupted not only Tatiana's relationship with food but also her relationships in general - with herself, with partners, with her body. Tatiana is startlingly wise for her age; her insight, intelligence, and vulnerability make her story even more compelling, and the content is compelling enough on its own: mothers, eating disorders, body image, alcohol, adderall, abandonment, codependency, boundaries, depression, medication, love bombing, and that's not all. Tatiana has a specific question for Renée that doesn't emerge until more than halfway through their conversation: Why is her body rejecting her current partner? And this is where things get extra juicy. Renée helps Tatiana sort out the many layers of her current experience, and by the end Tatiana has a cohesive and empowered narrative, new hope, and a plan.Support the show

How to actually love yourself? If you're on the body image healing road, you've probably been told multiple times, by multiple people that you simply need to love yourself. That your desire for thinness is a marker of not feeling good enough and that you're seeking scraps of worthiness through conforming towards the ‘body ideal'. When I was in the dreary depths of bulimia, wise people would often dispense this advice to me with noble intentions. I would placatingly nod my head, whilst secretly rolling my eyes and having zero understanding of how to do this. It felt like some ephemeral, nice-to-have fluffy concept. Self-love is sadly not a quick fix pill, rather a life-long journey that needs regular cultivation and attention. And it's an important journey to take. Otherwise, the miserable alternative is neurotic self-preoccupation and judgement. It can't be firmly rooted with a luxury bubble bath or spa visit, although these delights might be sprinkles on the top, of a cup filled fully. A truly self-loving relationship offers an internal fortitude of peace and contentment. It vastly improves your relationships, romantic and otherwise. It allows the possible fulfilment and deep appreciation of work and hobbies. It allows you to form a haven inside of yourself. In this episode, I explore how to navigate this self-love process with some practical steps for change. If you're stuck in the dreary depths of self-loathing and compare-and-despair, then this podcast might be just what you need.   Harriet's Substack: https://substack.com/@theeatingdisordertherapist   Harriet Frew's current offers: - Online 10 Steps to Intuitive Eating Course https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/online-courses.html Online Breaking Free from Bulimia  https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/bulimia-nervosa-online-course.html Eating Disorders Training for Professionals https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/eating-disorders-training-with-harriet-frew.html Body Image Training for Professionals https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/body-image-training-with-harriet-frew.html  

In this deeply personal episode, I share my biggest regret from my eating disorder recovery journey – how focusing too intensely on "being recovered" almost caused me to miss the beautiful growth happening along the way. Drawing on Dr. Benjamin Hardy's powerful concept of "living in the gap vs. living in the gain," I explore how this mindset shift can transform the recovery experience and help you  find meaning even in your most challenging moments. xo, lindsey Find All the Things -＞ www.herbestself.co ______ Coach with Me -＞Client Application ______ Email me directly -> info@lindseynichol.com ______ Join the free FB community -> www.herbestselfsociety.com ______ Need a helping hand guiding you girl!?

Compulsive exercise is not joyful. It has become a weary, punishing ‘should' to endure despite injury and bone-weary exhaustion. You cannot stop. Your sanity depends on completing the next workout and achieving your step count. It's rigid and time robbing of precious life moments. You rely on exercise to earn your meals and to give you permission to eat. It is a distraction from difficult emotions. It's intricately linked to weight control and body image. It's more than psychological. When you are restricting your food intake, the brain chemical, leptin is significantly reduced. This drives the urge to be active and move. It's a survival mechanism in human beings which would have kept us alive in scarce times gone by. Activity can be happening in different forms. You may be openly and deliberately engaging in activities such as gym sessions or swimming. Or you may have become secretive in increasing your exercise through additional pacing around the house, when no-one is there. Or standing for long periods rather than comfortably sitting down. Or you may have joined more than one gym so you can do extra sessions without prompting concern from staff. You may feel confused about the healthiness of your exercise. In a world that praises constant movement and screams forcefully about the fear of eating too much, you may well be validated for your extreme regime, viewed as ‘the fit person', as others do not understand your internal torture and compulsion. In this episode, I explore signs that your relationship with movement may be unhealthy with practical steps for change. I hope that you find it helpful.   Harriet's Substack: https://substack.com/@theeatingdisordertherapist   Harriet Frew's current offers: - Online 10 Steps to Intuitive Eating Course https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/online-courses.html Online Breaking Free from Bulimia  https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/bulimia-nervosa-online-course.html Eating Disorders Training for Professionals https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/eating-disorders-training-with-harriet-frew.html Body Image Training for Professionals https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/body-image-training-with-harriet-frew.html

I know what it's like to feel trapped—in your body, your mind, and the patterns you don't know how to escape. For years, I chased extremes—bingeing, purging, over-exercising, partying—searching for control, validation, and worth. But what I didn't realize was that food, fitness, and discipline weren't the real problem. They were just symptoms of a deeper wound. This podcast is about breaking free—from self-sabotage, destructive habits, and the false beliefs that keep us small. Through raw storytelling, deep insights, and conversations that challenge everything you think you know, I'm here to help you heal at the root.

Tired of food obsession, body anxiety, and the constant comparison trap?

Today, many of my clients enter the therapy room with a diagnosis or self-diagnosis of ADHD. They have often only recently realised the humungous impact on their lifetime relationship with food. If you have ADHD, you have increased vulnerability to suffering from an eating disorder, particularly bulimia nervosa or binge eating disorder. This is backed up by research finding that people with ADHD are four times more likely to have an eating disorder than those without. ADHD adds a layer of complexity in navigating your food relationship, when this is already hugely challenging in a diet obsessed world. If you have ADHD and an eating disorder, please show yourself deep understanding and compassion for your food struggles. In this episode, I share 11 insights around ADHD and eating disorders from the therapy room. I hope that you find it helpful.
