Content Caution: This episode discusses childhood trauma, eating disorders, and body shame. Please listen with care and take breaks if needed. Episode Overview: Eating disorders are not about willpower or personal failure. They are survival responses rooted in trauma, body shame, and environments where safety or acceptance were missing. In this episode of Dr. Marianne-Land: An Eating Disorder Recovery Podcast, I explore how childhood trauma and eating disorders are connected, and why understanding this link is essential for true healing. We'll talk about how early emotional invalidation, conditional love, medical or religious trauma, anti-fat bias, racism, ableism, and other forms of oppression shape our nervous systems and our relationships with food and our bodies. Key Topics in This Episode: How Childhood Trauma Shapes Eating Disorders Trauma is not only abuse or neglect. It includes emotional neglect, growing up where love felt conditional, being shamed for your body or identity, and living in oppressive environments. These experiences teach the nervous system that the world is unsafe, leading to food-based coping strategies like restriction, binge eating, or obsessive control. Why Eating Disorders Are Survival Strategies Eating disorders are intelligent adaptations to trauma and distress. They are not choices or flaws but protective responses from a body trying to survive unsafe conditions. The Role of Shame and Oppression Shame reinforces eating disorders by convincing people they are weak or broken. Systems like fatphobia, racism, and ableism magnify this shame, making recovery harder. Understanding how body shame and systemic oppressionintersect with trauma is crucial for healing. A Trauma-Informed Approach to Recovery Recovery is not about force or willpower. It is about compassion, safety, and nervous system regulation. Healing involves body liberation, trauma-informed care, and neurodivergent-affirming practices that honor each person's story and needs. What You'll Learn in This Episode: The connection between childhood trauma and eating disorders Why eating disorders are survival mechanisms, not failures How shame and body image distress perpetuate disordered eating The impact of oppression, fatphobia, and ableism on body shame How trauma-informed eating disorder therapy supports healing Related Episodes: Childhood Trauma & Eating Disorders on Apple & Spotify.

"Eating disorders are dissociative by nature. It's very difficult to be connected to your feelings while you're engaging in eating disorder behaviors. So it makes a lot of sense that people develop eating disorders as a way of keeping themselves as “safe” as possible."

They also have a deeper conversation about the relationship between trauma and disordered eating. Monika shares her personal journey, detailing her experiences with anorexia and trauma, and how these experiences shaped her professional path in the field of eating disorders.  Listen to hear more about: The misconceptions surrounding DID  Trauma-related origins of both DID and eating disorders Taking a strengths-based perspective in recovery Trauma-informed approaches to treatment The complex relationship between trauma, eating disorders, and self-compassion Understanding our internal voices Using inner world tools for healing  The protective nature of eating disorders What it means to be gentle in recovery Addressing the challenges of worthlessness Coping with societal pressures surrounding body image Why healing is really about connection How we can show up for ourselves with kindness and understanding So much more!

HEAR FROM DANIELLE ABOUT DANIELLE! I have been passionate about learning and helping others most of my life. I am originally from Northern California and was overjoyed to study at University of California, San Diego and to live near the ocean. After receiving my Bachelors of Science in Cognitive Science, Neuroscience and Psychology I stayed in San Diego to complete my doctorate in Marital and Family Therapy at Alliant International University and become a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT #48529). ​While at college, I took a course on eating disorders and began to volunteer with a program that focused on eating disorder prevention. I knew I wanted to be a therapist and help people heal and recover from their eating disorders. I planted my roots in San Diego and began working at an eating disorder treatment program. It was clear early on that most of my clients had a trauma history. Some had never called what they went through “trauma,” but could see how their life experiences had contributed to the development of their eating disorder. Others knew they had gone through something that still bothered them in the present, but didn't know how to talk about it or how to heal.  ​During this time I acquired extensive experience treating anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, complex PTSD, dissociative disorders, depression, and anxiety. I also began my training in EMDR therapy; a treatment that has become crucial to my therapeutic approach. To help clients on their journey toward healing I also utilize systems theory, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), acceptance commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness. My overall goal is to work collaboratively with clients in order to honor their treatment goals. In 2013 Kelly Hinds, RDN and I created Savor Podcast. For three years we recorded episodes on nutrition, body image, mindfulness, yoga, eating disorders, dieting, EMDR therapy and beyond. Past Savor podcast episodes are available here. Before starting my family, I was an adjunct professor at University of California, San Diego, Alliant International University and San Diego State University. I taught classes on eating disorders, stress management, social psychology, and assessment. After my family started to grow, I decided to slow down and work part-time in my Mission Valley private practice in San Diego, California.  I work toward providing a calm, safe and grounded space for you to feel comfortable sharing your successes and your struggles. A journey back to self always has ups, downs and surprises. Together we can navigate how to find tools and strategies to help you cope and make space for yourself. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my husband and two daughters. I also love swimming, paddle boarding, and hiking.

Today I'm talking to Heidi Schauster, MS, RD, LDN, CEDS-S, SEP who is a nutrition therapist and Somatic Experiencing (SE)™ Practitioner who has specialised in eating and body image concerns for nearly 30 years. She provides individual and group counselling and clinical supervision/consultation and is particularly interested in the intersection between food and body concerns with trauma. Heidi considers herself a whole-self-wellness practitioner and Embodiment Warrior. She is the author of the award-winning book Nourish: How to Heal Your Relationship with Food, Body, and Self and writes the Nourishing Words newsletter on Substack.  Her most recent book is Nurture - Nurture: How to Raise Kids Who Love Food, Their Bodies, and Themselves. Heidi lives in Arlington, Massachusetts, with her partner and twin daughters when they aren't in college. She recently choreographed a modern dance piece about the “empty nest,” performed by an ensemble of women age 40+. Heidi and her family enjoy most food that is lovingly prepared, especially if it's followed by a dishwashing dance party.  In the episode today, Heidi talks about how parents can support their young children and teens in navigating a healthy relationship with food and body. She talks about responding to your individual child, and the delicate balance of providing structure with eating versus over-control. Heidi explains why it's unhelpful to have good and bad foods and how to navigate food neutrality within your family. Heidi talks about educating children around body diversity and calling out fat shaming and weight stigma. She explains about how we will be imperfect as parents and get it wrong, when navigating all of this. Heidi helpfully normalises how many parents are dealing with their own food issues and how they can still helpfully support their children. She deeply advocates for food as pleasure and nourishment – for connection and joy, in addition to nutrition. So much packed into the episode. I hope that you enjoy it.   To find out more about Heidi: - Official site: www.anourishingword.com   Substack: https://heidischauster.substack.com/ LinkedIn: @nourishingwords Instagram: @nourishingwords Pinterest: @NourishingWordsHeidiSchauster Facebook: @NourishingWords     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/online-courses.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        

Are eating disorders actually a type of addiction? It's easy to think of eating disorders as, well, a disorder. But when we start to really dive into the nitty gritty, are they actually considered an addiction? In today's episode, I am joined by Iris Epstein. Since 2004, Iris Epstein RD, CDCES, CEDS-S, CAI has focused her career on eating disorder awareness, treatment, family coaching, and intervention at her practice in Pomona, New York. Her philosophy is one of compassion along with hard work to break through the determined mindset that takes hold of people with eating disorders. By addressing the medical and malnutrition issues that give eating disorders their strength, we can weaken the grip they have on our clients. Just as there are many causes for eating disorders, it often takes a variety of strategies to treat them. Iris is confident that her team at the Nutrition Improvement Center can help provide a successful path for our clients to resume a healthy and balanced relationship with food and their bodies. Iris recently graduated from the ARISE intervention program where she received her certification in family coaching and intervention work for addiction. She believes that the addiction model has a place in the eating disorder recovery process. Note: We're celebrating three amazing years of the Understanding Disordered Eating podcast!

Tweetable Quotes "Eating disorders just don't happen fully. It starts sometimes as innocently as having a diet.” - Iris Epstein "When you remove the substance, then their brain feels relief and calm. When it's there, their brains go into more of a depressed mode, an anxious mode." - Iris Epstein "You have to reestablish good connections with people. And I think that's where the secrecy and everything comes into play." - Iris Epstein "Eating disorders are a coping mechanism for survival." - Iris Epstein Resources Connect with Iris Epstein here!

Therapists who work with eating disorders often hear stories about the crushing impact of multigenerational criticism about weight, body type, and appearance. Our patients speak to us about the multiple meanings of food, weight, and body shape and about how these meanings are embedded in complex familial and cultural systems. As we listen, we try to understand and emotionally resonate with the deep anguish our patients convey. We are excited to welcome Tom Wooldridge, PsyD, ABPP, FIPA, CEDS-S, who is chair of the psychology department at Golden Gate University, a licensed psychologist, and a psychoanalyst. He authored Understanding Anorexia Nervosa in Males (2016), Psychoanalytic Treatment of Eating Disorders (2018), Eating Disorders (2022), and co-edited Advancing Psychotherapy for the Next Generation. His work has been featured in Newsweek, Slate, and WebMD.

Then, in the paywalled portion of the interview, we discuss how social media makes it hard to have nuanced conversations about wellness and diet culture, the discourse around GLP-1 drugs, and the trouble with the research underlying weight-loss recommendations.

Join my free support group: https://victoria-kleinsman.circle.so/c/free-support-group/ Come hang out with me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/victoriakleinsmanofficial/ Work with me: https://victoriakleinsman.com/11-coaching/ In this episode, Victoria interviews Heidi Schauster, a nutrition and body image therapist, about supporting children in having a healthy relationship with food and their bodies. They discuss how parents can model positive behaviours, keep conversations about food neutral rather than moralistic, allow children pleasure in eating, handle picky eating, encourage movement joyfully, and more. Listeners can expect to gain insight into fostering body acceptance and food freedom for the next generation. Key Discussion Points: - How parents can support children in having a healthy relationship with food and bodies through positive modeling and neutral, non-judgmental communication (00:07:00) - Setting reasonable limits around certain charged "trigger" foods if needed, while still allowing pleasure and food freedom (00:17:46) - Letting kids tune into their bodies' natural signals and self-regulation abilities around eating (00:23:53) - Making physical movement a fun, family-oriented activity based on the child's natural temperament (00:35:27) - Signs that a child is struggling with food/body image issues and how to intervene and get professional support (00:36:43) Key Quotes: "I think the more neutral and joyful and relaxed we can be around food with children, the better." (00:07:15) "If the child is jumping up and down and saying, I want ice cream, to just say, we're not going to have ice cream tonight, but we might have it later this week. And just nonchalantly, not not with a lot of emotion." (00:17:46) "I would say that reaching out and letting them know that you are concerned is really, really important...the sooner, the better to actually let someone know that you're concerned, and potentially bring in some help."

From an early age, we're taught that lying is bad. But, is it? What drives someone to lie? Is all lying inherently bad? How does lying intersect with our internal struggles and vulnerabilities? These are just a few questions I had before my conversation with Tom. There are a lot of reasons as to why someone may lie. But here's the thing - lying isn't a black-and-white issue, especially when it comes to individuals grappling with eating disorders. There's a profound connection between lying, shame, and vulnerability in this context. Tom Wooldridge, PsyD, ABPP, CEDS-S is Chair in the Department of Psychology at Golden Gate University as well as a psychoanalyst and board-certified, licensed psychologist. He has published journal articles and book chapters on topics such as eating disorders, masculinity, technology, and psychoanalytic treatment. He has written 3 books including, Understanding Anorexia Nervosa in Males (2016), Psychoanalytic Treatment of Eating Disorders: When Words Fail and Bodies Speak (2018), and Eating Disorders (New Introductions to Contemporary Psychoanalysis) (2022). Tweetable Quotes “How do we understand someone's relationship with the truth in a much more complex way as opposed to just saying ‘Well that's just someone's eating disorder.'” - Rachelle Heinemann "Often people have a kind of outward presentation of indifference or commitment to whatever behavior they're engaged in. But maybe, just maybe there's ambivalence in there." - Tom Wooldridge "You could say, well, there is a 0.5% chance that you'll die of the coronavirus. Well, that's just gonna make a kid anxious. What they need to hear is, no honey, it's gonna be okay." - Tom Wooldridge "I don't rule out that [confrontation] could never be productive. But for most patients, most of the time, they're lying for reasons." - Tom Wooldridge "Most of the time I would hope to get to a place where we could speak about the deception, but usually only after quite a bit of groundwork has been laid." - Tom Wooldridge Resources Grab the replay of my Basics of Assessment and Early Treatment of Eating Disorder Webinar Grab my Journal Prompts here!

On this week's episode, we're joined by Leslie Schilling, registered dietitian and author. We focus on themes in her second book, Feed Yourself, which explores the intersection of diet culture and religion — how diet culture shows up in the safest spaces, including places of worship. We discuss interrogating the church, and how diet culture is perpetuated through its messaging and ideologies. From weight to food choices, to health and morality, to the lies that instill shame and guilt – specifically when it comes to our bodies. I've really admired and respected Leslie for years. We're connected on social media, and hold similar values. I was really looking forward to in this conversation about faith and religion, because it's not something that has been a big part of my life. And this is exactly why I have this podcast – to bring on all different lived experiences; discuss hard things; dig into the nuance and make sure that nuance is shared. I hope you enjoy this one, I know I did. Leslie Schilling, MA, RDN, CSCS, CEDS-S, owns a Las Vegas-based private practice specializing in nutrition counseling for families, people with disordered eating concerns, professional athletes, and performers.

As we approach a holiday season that's highly focused on food, we're thrilled to be joined by Diane Summers, MS, RDN, CEDS-S, CD, a highly experienced and nationally registered dietitian specializing in the treatment of eating disorders, for an insightful exploration of the multifaceted issue of food insecurity. Drawing on her 19 years of expertise, Diane delves into two essential frameworks through which to understand this critical topic. The first framework begins with a stark reality: 12.8% (17 million households) in the US face food insecurity, with disproportionately higher rates for Black and Hispanic households, as reported by the USDA. Food insecurity is defined here as the uncertainty or inability to acquire enough food due to insufficient funds or resources. This conversation also explores a second framework, inviting us to examine food insecurity through the lens of our culture's pervasive obsession with altering bodies through dieting and restrictive eating. A note to listeners that this conversation does mention disordered eating but does not go into detail.  Diane, along with Dan and Rachael, navigate the delicate terrain of recognizing the privilege of having access to enough food while also acknowledging the potentially unhealthy relationships many harbor with food. The discussion touches on the impact of societal norms, trauma associated with growing up in a diet culture, and the subsequent internalization of food as an adversary. This episode provides a thought-provoking and compassionate examination of the complex issue of food insecurity, with insights into the societal, cultural, and personal dynamics involved.

This is just our body's internal perception, so our bodily senses of what is happening inside our body.” Dr. Melanie Smith Our clients are always looking for as many tools as they can to treat their eating disorder clients. It is important for us, as therapists, to understand all the factors that can influence eating disorders… “When we think about eating disorder application; our ability to sense if I'm hungry, if I'm full, if my stomach doesn't feel good; all of that is what we're talking about when we're talking about interoception.” Dr. Melanie Smith   What then is interoceptive awareness? “Interoceptive awareness is the level to which we are consciously aware of the things happening inside our bodies.” Dr. Melanie Smith   It is important to understand what level of interoceptive awareness a client has and how they react to what is happening inside the body, because most of us, most of the time, shouldn't be (or aren't) noticing things such as our heart beating or ourselves breathing. “Heightened levels of interoceptive awareness also results in heightened anxiety about what is happening inside our body. So we might start to overthink it or overinterpret what it means.” Dr. Melanie Smith   How can we use interoceptive exposure to help clients?   “The ultimate goal with interoceptive exposure is to intentionally evoke those same unpleasant, uncomfortable sensations. So, we're going to allow ourselves to experience that emotion, allow it to rise, BUT allow it to fall and learn that this is actually something we can tolerate.” Dr. Melanie Smith   Interoceptive exposure seems to align with other methods and skills that we already understand as therapists or clinicians. If we were to think about Mentalizing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy or Dialectic Behavioral Therapy. “Those same principles are absolutely at work here, which is why I would suggest it as a wonderful adjunctive that could nicely coincide with any of those treatment approaches.” Dr. Melanie Smith   When was this developed and is there any current research into the method?   “The first places you'll see it in the literature as a proposed intervention, from an experimental standpoint, was back in the late 80s, maybe early 90s. But I think in the 80s specifically, it was proposed as a Cognitive behavioral exposure-based intervention for panic disorders.” “There's also a lot of really interesting evidence out there and people doing more trials with this with individuals with PTSD because when you think about trauma response and the way that trauma is held within the body, and that bodily reaction, you're not going to talk someone out of that. There have been really successful applications with other chronic illnesses and chronic pain.” Dr Melanie Smith   When talking to a family or talking to a client and trying to explain what is happening to us or to your brain start by explaining; You have your brain which is the organ which Neurologists take care of, and then you have your mind which is a little bit less tangible and it's what us therapists take care of. One of the issues that we have is that our civilization, which is backed by our minds, has actually evolved faster than our brains have so our brains get activated by perceived threat and still think tigers are chasing us. It's still our brain, that primitive Caveman Limbic system, deep in the depths of our primitive brain that is not aware that it's not a tiger. That's that overinterpretation of threat. When our brain is not aware that it is not a tiger. So it is still dropping all of those neurochemicals associated with running for your life. Now our minds are thinking; “there's not a tiger - so why is my heart beating this fast?”. My heart's beating that fast because my brain told it to because it thinks I'm running from a tiger.  There's something about that idea of separating the brain from the mind that really helps people understand that they're not defective. They're not doing something wrong, or their loved one isn't doing something wrong or isn't broken. In fact, you're the opposite of broken. Your brain is working magnificently, it's doing exactly what it's designed to do. Now our mind needs to override that brain part and that feels like such a good starting point.   “Those teaching examples and metaphors I think are so brilliant. I literally start with that one, usually the tiger. That's one of my teaching examples.” Dr. Melanie Smith   Let's talk about what this all looks like in a therapy room and any examples you may have. “All of the education kind of stuff we just talked about, you have to bring in the room with a client using language that is appropriate developmentally and, again, relationally; like it's not a science class but we are teaching them about science.” Dr Melanie Smith   It is clear that introspective exposure is a tool that therapists and clinicians can incorporate, but as a method of treatment, this is not something you're going to start off with. We need to get past certain stages in therapy and have foundational blocks before we move onto using interoceptive exposure with clients. This is a fascinating topic and Dr. Melanie Smith provides valuable insights, information and examples throughout the podcast.

In this episode, Libby and Jennifer delve into various aspects of private practice and dietetics. They explore challenges and opportunities related to insurance, stress the importance of scalable business models, and address barriers dietitians may encounter. Their discussion encompasses finding effective systems, managing technology, shifting mindsets, and offering examples and inspiration to help dietitians broaden their business prospects. Additionally, they highlight the potential of private practice for flexible income generation in today's economy and underscore the role of social media in business growth, advocating for mindful usage and setting boundaries."Scaling your private practice with scalable offers can create additional revenue streams and reach more clients."BIO: Jennifer McGurk RDN, CDN, CEDS-S is the founder and CEO of Pursuing Private Practice. She began her career in business as a private practice dietitian. She grew her private practice into a group practice and eventually expanded into speaking, offering workshops, and supervising other professionals.

Pursuing Private Practice is a top-rated business podcast. Jennifer's mission is to encourage others to take up space in business!Website: https://pursuingprivatepractice.com/What you'll learn from this episode: Insurance in private practice can reduce barriers to access care but also comes with challenges like billing and dealing with insurance companies. Scaling your private practice with scalable offers (courses, group programs, workshops) can create additional revenue streams and help you reach more clients. Barriers to adopting scalable offers may include a lack of examples in the field, fear of technology, and mindset shifts. Learning the skills of program design, managing feedback mechanisms, and improving systems are crucial for successfully implementing scalable offers. Private practice offers significant flexibility and income potential, making it suitable for those seeking additional earnings, especially during economic downturns. The scalability of private practice allows practitioners to start small and gradually expand their client base. Social media is becoming increasingly important for business growth, but it's essential to use it strategically and mindfully. Effective use of social media involves understanding various platforms and tailoring content to reach the ideal audience. Maintaining boundaries with social media usage is crucial to prevent it from negatively impacting mental health and productivity.

I love it when I can pick up a box when I can twist the top off of a bottle that nobody else can. I love being strong.” - Elyse Resch “They have to do with cortisol, with our stress. If our stress is very high, if we don't know how we're going to pay our rent or get the food to pay to feed the kids or, not be able to go to a doctor because we don't have health care, the stress is so high. That is impacting our health far more than eating a ding dong.” - Elyse Resch Resources Intuitive Eating Research Studies Connect with Elyse: Instagram or check out her website at www.elyseresch.com/.

Let's talk body stuff.  So much of what happens to someone's body when they engage in eating disorder behavior is individualized.

We have been told if you have a negative body image, to change your body & it will fix your body image. Unfortunately that is NOT the answer. It is time to increase awareness and change our approach to overall health & wellness. As a health & fitness professional, I encounter so many people who struggle with disordered eating, body image & yo-yo dieting. In addition, there are many health & fitness professionals who don't know how to properly support someone who struggles in that area because it is out of our scope of practice. Randi Zimmerman, LCSW-R, CEDS-S, is the founder & lead therapist at the group therapy practice, The Time Is Always Now Therapy Group. Randi & her team of incredible therapists see all ages & genders as well as treat all issues. They have a specialty in eating disorder treatment & recovery. Randi has seen from a first hand view how the attention on weight loss has harmed the well-being of so many people. She believes that the overvaluation of appearance of the body and the measurement or judgment of a person based on their size & shape is what leads to weight stigma which in return, leads to fat phobia. This not only creates unrealistic & unhealthy expectations of ourselves & the feeling of “not good enough” from a very young age, but also can cause medical inequity as well as other health-harming disorders.  My goal is to be the best health professional I can be. I want to help you reach your goal, but I want to help you live a really long, healthy life most importantly.  I asked Randi to create this episode with me to raise awareness for everyone, specifically health & fitness professionals, on what signs to look out for & how to help somebody who is struggling. More importantly, I want her to help you learn to love yourself a little bit more. We ask you to please share this episode with your community to spread awareness & help someone who may be struggling. If you are a health & fitness professional, please share this with your clients & network.

It is based on the principles of weight inclusivity, health enhancement, respectful care, eating for well-being, and life-enhancing movement. It challenges the weight-centered approach that often stigmatizes, discriminates, and harms people who do not conform to the thin ideal. It also recognizes that health is influenced by many factors beyond individual control, such as socio-economic status, race, gender, sexual orientation, age, and other identities.

Eating disorders are complicated and not uncommon in artistic athletes. Common comorbidities of symptomatic joint hypermobility (SJH), like mast cell activation disorder (MCAD) or gastroparesis, may contribute to disordered eating, which can spiral into an eating disorder. For years, eating disorders have been stigmatized and dismissed by many in the health community. To discuss this difficult topic, Bendy Bodies sat down with Dr. Jennifer Gaudiani, MD, CEDS-S, FAED, and founder of the Gaudiani Clinic for Eating Disorders. Dr. Gaudiani shares how she became so passionate about caring for this complex population and the importance of understanding her patient's stories. She talks about why there's such a stigma around eating disorders and how she's working to change that. We discuss why this topic is so important for those with SJH and cover possible eating disorder mimickers. We break down definitions and explore possible predictors of eating disorders. Dr. Gaudiani shares the aspects of treatment that she has found vital, and offers tips on how to speak to someone you suspect may have an eating disorder. Finally, she reveals ways to find experts for getting the help needed for an eating disorder.  Learn more about the Gaudiani Clinic here.   For physicians, dance teachers, coaches, and anyone struggling with an eating disorder, this episode is a valuable look at a difficult topic.   . . . . . #MentalHealth #BodyPositive #Nutritionist #DoctorsOfIG #IntuitiveEating #EDWarriors #Recovery #SportsNutrition #ChronicIllness #EatingDisorders #PlantBasedNutrition #MentalHealthMatters #NutritionMatters #InvisibleIllness #AntiDiet #AntiDietCulture

  Dr. Kamila Cass, PhD, CEDS-S, (she/her/hers)  Dr. Cass tells us that our patients can FEEL when we believe them and that they need to know, so strongly, that they have a right to treatment no matter how many times they need it.    They have a right to be wrestling with their eating disordered cognitions- it's not their fault that these thoughts were there it's happening to them they didn't ask for them.     Mechanisms of ARFID (Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder)  Fearing consequences of eating (how food will impact the way their body feels, vomiting, choking, how they will feel in their body) Lack of interest in eating – COVID and disruptions of waking and sleeping patterns Malnourished due to sensory sensitivity – unpleasant, narrow variety of food choices   They usually WANT to gain weight.  Let's create a home where they feel safe and very believed.  The full team is used: OT, PT, and RD in service of treating them where they need it most.    EDE-Q doesn't work for ARFID  Why don't clinicians BELIEVE what's happening?   What's happening in the brain?    ARFID – goes back to childhood, maybe infancy, maybe had a hard time eating back then.    Check out this episode of the SesaonED RD with Dr. Jenny Thomas on ARFID.   Dr. Cass' Seasonings:  *Dr. Bulik's research – Eating Disorders as a psycho-metabolic condition.  Dr. Bulik's episode. *This is not just in the head, we need to believe and UNSHAME having a mental illness  *Patients can open up and do the very hard work when they are completely believed.  *Eating Disorders have little to do with poor parenting and everything to do with providing support and being an agent of change.  *Family-based treatment  *Have hope and with the same amount of courage our clients have,   *People do get better, leaning into the support of the community.  *Supervision!    Bio:    Dr. Kamila Cass, PhD, CEDS-S, completed her master's and Ph.D. in clinical psychology at the University of Missouri-Columbia and her predoctoral psychology residency at the University of Colorado at Boulder.  Dr. Cass has worked with eating disorders for many years, in several settings, including private practice, hospital programs, community clinics, and college counseling centers.  Dr. Cass has also worked on a bariatric surgical team, designing the pre-surgical psychological evaluation process, and providing support to patients undergoing bariatric surgery. Dr. Cass has worked as a psychologist at the ACUTE Center for Eating Disorders and Severe Malnutrition for the past four years and is the lead developer of the ARFID Track, overseeing a multidisciplinary team of providers dedicated to providing individualized, evidence-based treatment to patients with ARFID.  Dr. Cass is an Assistant Professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and is active in research and publishing and has been a featured speaker at national and international conferences for eating disorders.
