Podcast appearances and mentions of jennifer rollin

Awesome video episode with my friend and respected colleague Jen Rollin! It's a myth that only teenage girls have eating disorders. In fact, as we discuss in this episode, eating disorders are highly linked to OCD and prevent many partners from tasting food, going on date nights, and engaging in a relaxed way in the relationship overall. Jennifer Rollin, MSW, LCSW-C is an award-winning therapist and founder of The Eating Disorder Center in Rockville, Maryland, who specializes in working with adolescents and adults with eating disorders including, anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, body image issues, and compulsive exercise, & eating disorders co-occurring with OCD.  Follow her podcast Eating Disorder Recovery Chat!

I am guessing we all want to be healthy, right? In today's episode, I talk with licensed clinical psychologist and eating disorder specialist, Dr. Colleen Reichmann all about the trends of wellness culture and clean eating. Dr. Reichmann helps us see how, through the lens of diet culture, our ideas on health and wellness may be a bit warped.In addition to being a licensed clinical psychologist and eating disorders specialist, Dr. Reichmann is the founder of Wildflower Therapy LLC, and the coauthor of the book, The Inside Scoop on Eating Disorder Recovery: Advice from Two Therapists Who Have Been there, along with Jennifer Rollin. Colleen practices in Philadelphia, PA and also specializes in mental health specific to college students, maternal mental health, anxiety, and depression.In today's episode, we talk about how and why Colleen found herself specializing in eating disorders. We also talk about wellness culture, the prevalence of disordered eating, and why Colleen refers to clean eating as “a wolf in sheep's clothing.” Dr. Colleen Reichmann's voice and work are a force in helping people move away from disorder and diet culture and into more healing and wholeness. I am so excited for us to learn from her today.

The whole mind crew is back after a wonderful summer! Listen to Candace, Grace and Wendy talk about eating disorders, myths and ways to support as the Church. PSA, we mis-pronounce PICA disorder.

Welcome, Friends! If you've been listening to Beauty Unlocked for some time, you've realized that I'm all about bringing to light how hating our body is a learned behavior. For this week's episode, I found two insightful articles I wanted to share. The first article was written by Jennifer Rollin, a therapist who specializes in helping adolescents and adults struggling with eating disorders, body image issues, anxiety, and depression. The Second article I came across is from Stylist.co.uk, where they asked their staff about their thoughts on weight. It struck a chord with me, as many of their experiences are similar to mine.

If you struggle with feelings of shame around your eating disorder, you are not alone and that's the point that Amy drives home in this episode! She started off by sharing an encouraging email from a listener named Sarah (who kindly reminded us that we have the power to tune out "disordered talk" so that we don't end up engaging in toxic behaviors that we're exposed to). Amy also shared a blog post from one of our favorite eating disorder therapists, Jennifer Rollin, that gives a handful of compassionate responses to eating disorder thoughts that we might be having. Amy had a lot of shame around her binge/purge behaviors for many years, but now she knows that the more we speak up about eating disorders, the more we can start to eliminate the shame and stigma. Amy wrapped things up by suggesting Episode 95 of the Brain Over Binge Podcast (Creating Motivation to Stop Binge Eating) if you're frustrated that you haven't been able to fully stop binge eating (a place that Amy was in for several months when she first started her recovery journey!)

Being that it's National Eating Disorders Awareness Week...this week's 4 things will be focused on bringing awareness to eating disorders and hopefully provide some hope and support to those affected by eating disorders. This topic is important to Amy because she spent much of her life with an eating disorder and didn't think recovery was possible. Now in recovery for over 2 years now, she wants the same for others. So today she shares 4 things from 4 different resources that have been helpful in her recovery so you'll know about them. FIRST THING: Amy shared a blog post that TheWellful.com put up sharing some signs that it's time to get support for your relationship with food and body image. She loves following @TheWellful on Instagram and we recommend you do the same! The account is run by Brenna O'Malley, RD; a Virtual Anti-Diet Dietitian offering Intuitive Eating & Body Image support!!! SECOND THING: Amy read an email that she got from an ‘Outweigh Podcast' listener (a podcast she co-hosts with @LisaHayim that comes out every Saturday). Amy wanted to share this note as a reminder to stop commenting on people's bodies and to remind you that OUTWEIGH can be a tool in your toolbox to offer a little support! The email is titled: Co-worker Comment Alert!, so make sure to listen to this so you don't end up being THAT type of co-worker! THIRD THING: Another person that has been a great resource for Amy during recovery is @Jennifer_Rollin! She is an Eating Disorder Therapist, author of ‘The Inside Scoop on ED Recovery' and founder of @theeatingdisordercenter! Jennifer shared some tips for traveling in eating disorder recovery and since spring break will be here soon...these tips might come in handy or maybe you even keep them in mind if you're not traveling until the summer. OR maybe you have no travel plans at all....these are still helpful tips that can be applied to everyday life at home! FOURTH THING: The final resource Amy shared with you is Kathryn Hansen's website: BrainOverBinge.com. There you'll find her blog posts, links to her podcast and you can see more about her book (there's even a recovery/study guide option to go along with the book). The Brain Over Binge book was huge for Amy in the early stages of her recovery! She read the book and then did some ‘Fork the Noise' courses with Lisa and finally built those new neural pathways helping keep her on track. Amy also gets Kathryn's ‘Brain Over Binge' newsletters (which are normally short and to the point, offering that right amount of encouragement), so she shared one of those with us today on the mindset you need to give up dieting!

In this week's podcast, we talk with Allyson Ford about her journey with OCD and an Eating Disorder.  Allyson shares how her journey with OCD began when she watched ERP SCHOOL, our online course for people with OCD.  Allyson quickly realized that she had not only been working through an Eating Disorder but had also struggled with OCD. Allyson Ford shares these 3 main points on OCD Recovery: In recovery, don't wait for the fear to be gone. You must take the action while scared/anxious for real growth to happen. It will feel counterintuitive but that doesn't mean you are doing it wrong. ERP is terrifying and it's worth it in the end. It's so empowering to realize you can have anxiety and do the things you love anyways. Because it is so scary, you need a therapist that you can really trust- who is both skilled in ERP and compassionate/warm. Shame and myths about OCD keep us suffering for much longer than we need to. Two major turning points for me were learning about what real OCD is- I quickly identified signs and symptoms within myself since 8 years old. The next game-changer was finding a community of other therapists who live with OCD. I felt so embarrassed to be a therapist struggling with these issues- I felt broken and ashamed. It made work really anxiety-provoking. I attended Pure  O Chrissie's Gamechangers retreat and that changed everything for me. I suddenly felt empowered and hopeful; this propelled my ERP treatment forward. Learning and applying skills for intrusive thoughts was also a game-changer. Learning that everyone gets intrusive thoughts and that they don't mean anything, learning mindfulness skills (bookshelf metaphor) for rumination and one-upping my thoughts/power stance were the most helpful. Knowing that the theme of my thoughts only points to what I value most was also helpful- it always boils back down to my work. I care so deeply about making a meaningful impact on my clients, and that seems to be what my OCD attacks the most! Allyson Ford, MA, LPCC is an Eating Disorder, OCD, and anxiety therapist with lived experience. Allyson graduated with her Master's degree from New Mexico State University and has since worked in a variety of settings including hospitals, schools, residential programs, and now private practice. Allyson provides virtual services throughout California and also does part-time work at The Eating Disorder Center with Jennifer Rollin. Allyson has a passion for integrating social justice throughout her practice and has a podcast available on Apple and Spotify called Body Justice. Allyson utilizes ERP, DBT, CBT, ACT, and IFS in her practice. You can find her on Instagram at @bodyjustice.therapist and her website: www.allysonfordcounselingservices.com This is Your Anxiety Toolkit - Episode 201. Welcome to Your Anxiety Toolkit. I'm your host, Kimberley Quinlan. This podcast is fueled by three main goals. The first goal is to provide you with some extra tools to help you manage your anxiety. Second goal, to inspire you. Anxiety doesn't get to decide how you live your life. And number three, and I leave the best for last, is to provide you with one big, fat virtual hug, because experiencing anxiety ain't easy. If that sounds good to you, let's go. Welcome back, friends. I am so happy to have this special time with you. Thank you so much for giving me your very valuable time. How are you all doing? Just checking in. I know it's been a really hard year. I know we talked a lot last week about suffering and how to manage that. If you didn't hear that episode and you're struggling, please go back and listen. Hopefully, it will connect with you and land up with you in a way that is validating and kind and builds some space for you and some safety for you. This is going to be a wonderful episode. It's actually an interview I have done with somebody who I met through ERP School, interestingly enough. I am so honored to have this week Allyson Ford. Now Allyson is an LPCC. She is an eating disorder specialist and OCD specialist and anxiety specialist. She has lived experience, which she shared, in those areas, and she shares her experience of finding out that she has OCD, talking about her eating disorder recovery. And the cool thing is, like I said, she will reflect a lot on how ERP School, one of our online courses that teaches you how to practice ERP all on your own and learn about ERP – she shares how that was a big game-changer for her. So I'm so excited to share with you this amazing interview. We talk a lot about the overlap between eating disorders and OCD. Even if you don't have one or both of the disorders, I encourage you to listen because I think that there is some amazing story and I think it's really cool to see stories of clinicians who have actually walked the walk. They don't just talk the talk. So I'm so, so excited to share that interview with you. Before we do that, let's go ahead and do the review of the week, this week's review. If you want to ever leave a review for your anxiety, you can. I would love to see it. We feature one review a week. This one is from StrongMom and she said: “A big virtual hug. I don't know how I found this podcast, but I'm so glad I did. Kimberley's compassionate and honest conversations about anxiety and OCD provide tools and strategies for facing fears, anxiety, and BFRBs. Her friendly, nonjudgmental tone about the challenges are so helpful to me.” Thank you so much, StrongMom. I love hearing that the podcast is helpful. Before we get over to the main part of the show, we'd like to do the “I did the hard thing” segment. This is actually from someone you guys have had on the show before. This is from Alegra and she says this: “I let go of someone who I really cared about because it was the best thing for me, even though it deeply hurt.” I think that that is such an important “I did a hard thing” because sometimes we talk about it as just doing exposures, right? Facing our fear. But sometimes the hard thing is letting go of something. Sometimes the hard thing is setting a boundary with somebody. Sometimes the hard thing is listening to our own needs and following through with our needs. So I loved this submission for “I did a hard thing.” Okay. That being said, thank you to you all for being here again. I am so grateful. I know I say it and I want to keep saying it. Thank you. Thank you for spending your time with me. I'll head over to the show. ----- Kimberley: Welcome, everybody. I am so excited for this episode. We have with us Allyson Ford. Thank you for being here. Allyson: Of course. I'm so excited. Kimberley: Yeah. Okay. So, let's tell this story, and this is where I get so geeked out, is when I hear of people who've taken ERP School or taken one of my courses, and they'll either post it on social media or something to say, “Oh, this was really helpful.” And then literally my life is like done. I feel so good. I'm so happy. And that's how I met you, Allyson. So, I'm so grateful to have you here. Would you tell us a little bit about you and anything you want to share about your own recovery? I'll ask questions as we go. Allyson: Yes, absolutely. So, my name is Allyson. Like Kimberley said, I am a licensed therapist in California. I work primarily with eating disorders and anxiety, and I have my own recovery journey with an eating disorder. I just recovered from anorexia years ago, and it wasn't until this year that I realized I also have OCD. For anyone that's listening, it's common to have both symptoms, symptoms of both. They really overlap. And so, I see it a lot in the clients I work with, and that's what prompted me to take ERP School. I was looking for resources to become more trained to work with clients with OCD. And then through taking the course, I was like, “Oh my gosh, I have a lot of this.” And then I sought out an ERP therapist to work on things that were coming up for me, and it's been really rewarding. And so, now I really enjoy working with OCD as well. Kimberley: Wow. I have such big goosebumps on that. That's so fascinating to me that you would be doing continuing education units for yourself and helping your patients, and then realizing you had symptoms yourself. When you took the course or when you considered this learning, what did you think OCD is compared to now what you know about OCD? Allyson: Yeah. That's a great question. Because I went to graduate school, I knew that OCD was obsessions and compulsions, and I knew that the compulsions had to take up a certain amount of time of your day. But what was unclear is, what is an obsession and what is a compulsion? So, I still had this stereotypical image of OCD being like hand washing and checking the stove. And yes, those can be symptoms, right? But I was thinking about this the other day and I wish they would change the name of OCD in the DSM. I wish it was like Intrusive Thought Disorder because obsession, to me, sounds like, you think of it as something you like. Like, “Oh, I'm obsessed with this.” We don't think of it as something negative. Like, an intrusive thought is scary. It's frightening. It's so unsettling. I wish I would've known that it meant something totally different than just not just hand washing and cleaning. Kimberley: Right. Exactly. Yeah. Like I said to you, that made my day to hear that because a big part of our mission is to help educate people who do think it's like organizing your cupboards nicely and hand washing and lining things up evenly and so forth. So, was that a great realization for you? Or was that a sad realization for you to be like, “Oh, there's more to it than this and maybe this includes me”? Allyson: Oh my gosh, it was terrifying at first. Actually, when I was taking ERP School the first time, I was like, I knew this wise part of me was like, oh my gosh, yeah, these are some things you're struggling with. But then there was a lot of not wanting to face that. So I think between the time I took ERP School till I actually got help was still like six months, and there was a lot of like reaching out to ERP therapists and then backing out. I was so scared because I knew through taking your course that I was going to have to face my fear. When you go through one major mental health disorder in your life – going through anorexia, I was so terrified to go through something like that again. I'm so scared to have another label. Especially being a therapist, there's like this extra stigma that we shouldn't suffer. And so, that was a huge part of it. Just the stigma of having a mental health diagnosis again. But yeah, it was completely and totally scary. Kimberley: Yeah. Isn't that sad though? And I agree with you. I resonate so much with what you're saying. Isn't it sad that as therapists, we're made to believe, or we take on the belief that we aren't supposed to be human? For me, everyone on my account and my listeners know I had anorexia as well, but I did a tremendous degree of compulsive exercise, and it always felt OCD-like. As soon as I learned about OCD, I had a similar feeling of like, this is exactly what I used to do. I had a fear, and to remove this fear, I would do this one specific calculated move. And so, I get what you're saying. You had already gone through treatment. Now that you know about ERP, did your treatment now look a little bit like ERP? Because for me, my anorexia treatment felt like ERP at the time. Allyson: Yes. I would say it was a blend. It was a lot of facing the fears, reducing the compulsive behaviors, but then there was a huge relational component too. And that's something I've been reflecting on with ERP, that sometimes I feel it's missing in terms of ERP training. It's like, we forget the fact that the relationship is the most important thing. Going through my own ERP, it being so terrifying, I needed to have a therapist that I really trusted that like, this is actually going to help me. So, yes, it was, I would say, a mixture of behavioral, but also just relational. Kimberley: Yeah. So, true. So, if you're comfortable sharing, would you share a little about the area of OCD that you have experienced? Allyson: Yes. So, I've pretty much experienced all of them minus symmetry and contamination. But other than that, I've had pretty much all the themes. The ones that have been the stickiest in terms of the most impactful on my daily functioning have been real event OCD, which is – and you can correct me – but when something has actually happened and then you fear it like happening again, right? Kimberley: Yup. Allyson: That one was the one that actually propelled me to take ERP School. And then I've had harm obsessions, like fearing that I was going to hurt someone, fearing I would blurt something out really mean. That's been a really big one for me. And then in the past, now that I know what OCD is, I can see that growing up I had fear or harm obsessions. Those were the main ones, but I've had all the intrusive thoughts. Kimberley: Yeah. And that's why I think it's true. I agree with you, in terms of the word, obsession is very misunderstood. Isn't it? It's very much related to this unwanted experience. And I think that was a really different-- maybe you could share as well for a lot of people with eating disorders. Would you say that the eating disorder was an unwanted thought or a wanted thought? Allyson: Yeah. So, that's where it gets a little tricky. So, we talk a lot about egodystonic versus egosyntonic, and I would say in general, egodystonic is anything that you don't like, right? You don't want to be thinking that. With eating disorders, it's tricky because you think you like it. But if you actually sit down and you ask the person, “Well, how is this impacting your daily life? Isn't this behavior in line with your long-term values?” they will say no. I've never had someone say yes. Even though it feels like you like the thought or it feels congruent with who you are, it's really not when you look at the long-term picture. I think that's an important distinction to make. Kimberley: Yeah. So important. And that's why I love that you're here because we don't talk enough about eating disorders here on the show as much as I would like. I think that those little nuances are so important clinically to be able to understand. So, thank you for telling us. Okay, you took ERP School. What was your main takeaway? You obviously had the takeaway of like, “Oh, this could be a part of my symptomology,” but in terms of just what you've learned, what was the main takeaway for you? Allyson: The biggest takeaway was that in order to get better, I had to face my fears. I had to take away the compulsions, which were mostly mental for me. And that was really hard to wrap my head around, like learning mindfulness skills to stop ruminating. I just thought everyone obsessively ruminated. So, I just didn't know that that was a mental compulsion. So, identifying those and then retraining my brain. It was so hard. Like you said, I think in ERP School and in your podcast, you talk about how you might have to do it 500 times a day, like redirecting your attention back to the present – that was so true. It felt exhausting. So, those were my biggest takeaways – you need to face your fear and don't expect this to be comfortable. Kimberley: Yeah. I'm glad that's what you took. I got goosebumps listening to that in terms of you talking about how exhausting it is. I'm curious for your experience, was the treatment of the OCD portion harder than the eating disorder? I mean, it doesn't really matter, but I'm curious to know what that was like for you. It's so exhausting, right? Facing your fear is so exhausting. So, did you feel that same level of exhaustion in your eating disorder treatment? Allyson: Yeah, totally. I think it's hard to compare the two and I've done a lot of reflecting on it. Let's say, if I had to choose, do you want to go through the eating disorder again or the OCD, I think I would choose OCD only because it was so egodystonic feeling that I was really motivated to get better. The treatment took me a lot less time. Whereas with the anorexia, because our culture reinforces so many of the values of anorexia, you could say, it was really hard to change those behaviors because you're fighting yourself and also everyone around you. Whereas with the OCD, it wasn't that way. The culture wasn't reaffirming the values of OCD. Kimberley: Right. I agree. Allyson: But I would say that facing the OCD fears, it felt scary. And I don't know if it's just because it was more recent. My anorexia recovery was like eight years ago, but it felt more intense. We were just ripping off the bandaid. Whereas with my eating disorder recovery, it was a lot more gradual. My therapist was like, “No, we're going all in. I want to flood you with anxiety.” Oh, this was scary. Kimberley: It really is. It really is. You know what, I'll tell you an interesting story. A little bit off. But I was talking with a really, really somewhat high-profile influencer on social media the other day. I was actually asking a question about something specific. She had looked at my account and she'd said, “I find it interesting--” we were talking about microlearning, which is ultimately like teaching in very short, small 32-second blocks. She said, “I noticed that you talk a lot about disorders and you keep telling everybody how hard it is.” She said, “I find that a little depressing.” But that was just some feedback that I had said to her, my response was, “I'm in the trenches with people at the beginning. And if I don't tell them, it's going to be hard, they're going to question themselves on why it's so hard.” I thought that was such an interesting reflection of someone who'd be like, “Your account is depressing.” But I had only ever seen it through like, no, that's validating. So, I 100% agree with what you're saying. Allyson: I find that very validating because yes, when I went through my own ERP, I already knew it was going to be hard from taking your course, from reading your content, right? But until you're in that moment doing ERP, you don't realize how hard it is. If I was going into it with the expectation that it was going to be easy and super cheery and helpful, I would have collapsed. The fact that I knew it was supposed to be hard I think definitely helped, and my therapist validated that too a lot. Yes, if it's scary, if you're flooded with anxiety, you're doing it right. That was the biggest difference from anorexia recovery because an eating disorder recovery, I think we focus so much on coping skills for anxiety that we miss the point that we can teach clients just to tolerate the anxiety. You don't have to do anything about it. That was a game-changer for me. Kimberley: I agree. It takes all the wrestling out of the work, doesn't it? Allyson: Yeah. Kimberley: Yeah. So, I just thought that was a really funny story because I'd never once considered myself to be having a depressive social media account, but I totally get that perspective for people. I think it's because they're not looking at it through the lens of, if you have to face your fear every day, you do need that reminder. And I really appreciate you mentioning that. Was there anything that surprised you during your original training in ERP? Was that shocking to you? Or did that actually be like, “Oh no, that sounds bright”? Allyson: I think once I was taking the course, I realized, yes, this makes sense. It wasn't necessarily shocking, but learning about the OCD subtypes, that was the most eye-opening to me of, “Oh, this is what real OCD is, not everything we've been conditioned to think it is.” So, that was I think a huge turning point. Then I could pinpoint like, “Okay, where am I struggling the most? How is this manifesting for me? What do I need to do about this?” Kimberley: Right. Yes. Will you share with us some of your exposures and what that was like for you? Walk us through. Allyson: Sure. Yeah. So, I think the funniest exposures in terms of listeners listening to this would be the blurting out ones. And I say fun in a sense that they sound funny, right? Because OCD does not make sense. It's not logical. It attacks things that we know we care about, but OCD makes us question ourselves. So, when I had these fears that I was going to blurt out, people's like-- let me backup. Social justice is very important to me. And so, the fears of blurting out were fears that I was going to blurt out, people's like marginalized identities. For anyone that doesn't know, OCD attacks what you care about most. So, it felt so scary to me to have these thoughts of blurting out these obscenities to people. Some of the exposures that I would do, that my therapist had me do, was first like watching videos of people blurting out stuff. I had this fear that like, what if my brain just broke and I started blurting out stuff? So, she made me watch videos of people with brain damage and things like that. And then I wrote out a lot of scripts, writing out my feared outcome, listened to that 30 minutes a day over and over. And that was terrifying. And that I got from ERP School. And then the other one, I think what helped the most was my therapist had me write out my feared outcome on sticky notes and put them all over my room. So, when I woke up in the morning, I was flooded with anxiety, just seeing all the intrusive thoughts all over my walls. If you would have walked into my room, not knowing I was in ERP and stuff, you would just think I was a total weirdo. Kimberley: That's commitment, right? You were so committed to your recovery. I'm so proud. That's so cool. Allyson: I just wanted to get it over with. They say this is going to work, so I'm going to trust these professionals. I know the science myself. I was just so motivated because living with OCD is harder than going through the treatment. Kimberley: Yeah. So, I have a question, which I think is a question that my clients commonly ask, and you've gone through it, so I'd love to hear your thoughts. Often you are really into social justice. So I'm sure the idea of saying these words was horrible, right? It went so against your values. So, when you were doing the exposure, was it hard for you? Did that feel like you were going against your values to do the exposure? Or how did you manage that piece? Because I've had clients say or people from ERP School say like, “But I don't like these words. I actually disagree with these words.” Maybe it might be a racist word or so forth, then that was really, really upsetting for them. And so, the idea of doing an exposure to something that they wholeheartedly do not value and in fact, they are disgusted by is really painful. So, how did you navigate that? Allyson: Yes. Well, to answer your question, yes, that was very hard. And higher up in the exposure hierarchy, I actually had to write out the obscenities while I was talking to someone. So, I'd be like, let's say, I'm talking to you right now, and then my exposure would be taken on a sticky note or on my phone, type out the word that my OCD is saying I should say. And it felt so opposite to my values. It felt so wrong on every single level. Even just remembering it, I'm going to get a sick feeling in my stomach. It does that disgust, that guilt, that anxiety. It's so all-consuming. But I think I had to have blind faith and trust the process, as cliché as that sounds. Trust that this is supposed to habituate my brain and not I can tolerate it. So, yeah, it felt totally opposite. But then once it started getting better, meaning it started causing me less anxiety and less feelings of disgust, I started believing that like, “Oh, this is what I'm supposed to do.” And it was easier to keep going with it. But that first week was excruciating. Kimberley: Yeah. I bet. I'm so grateful you did the work, but I'm sorry you had to go through that, right? It's not easy. Yeah. And you're right, and we share this all the time, is it does attack often the things you value. Moms have to do pedophilia exposures they are disgusted by, or the dad has to do harm. I'm not picking a gender for any reason, but just using those as examples of a dad who have to have harm exposures and have to expose himself to his own aggression. And these can be so painful. So, I love that you're sharing-- particularly, I love that you're sharing about the social justice piece because I'm seeing that a lot in my practice. Because of how aware we are now of making sure that we are politically correct, or even the Me Too movement, I think a lot of people are reporting anxiety about if they said something or if they touch somebody inappropriately. I think it's becoming more and more prevalent. Allyson: Absolutely. And that was something I really had to learn in therapy. There's all these cognitive distortions with OCD and just like thinking errors, right? And one is that we are hyper responsible for everything we say and do, and that we have to say things perfectly, it's very black and white. There's no room for error. And that was a part where I had to accept that just like everyone, I'm imperfect. Sometimes I am going to have a thought that is not aligned with my values of social justice. But that doesn't mean I'm bad. And it's learning that that's okay. I'm only human. It's not my job to save the world. Kimberley: Right. And that we can be imperfect, right? Allyson: Right. Kimberley: Yeah. I think that is so, so true. So, so beautiful. I'm so glad that you mentioned that. Okay. So, tell me a little bit about skills. Actually, I wouldn't be totally happy as we go if you want to compare and contrast the skills you used in eating disorder treatment compared to OCD treatment, but what are some of the skills that you either learned through CBT School or ERP School and through your therapist? What were the skills that got you through the most? Allyson: Yeah. So, I can tell you the top two that were the most impactful, because my compulsion is where mostly mental – learning not to ruminate and using mindfulness to do so, which you explained very well in ERP School. And so, basically, this is how I pictured in my head, is where let's say, I'm talking to you and I'm starting to get intrusive thoughts that I'm going to blurt out something mean. I picture this little monster in my head, which is the OCD, and I just in my head and say, “Oh, okay, hi, you're there.” Acknowledge it. But then come back to the present, like constantly refocusing my attention to the present. So, not trying to push it away, not trying to figure it out. That was a huge game-changer for me because when you're caught up in your thoughts trying to figure it out, then you're totally removed from the present. I wouldn't be able to focus on what you're saying. But to learn like you can think four things at the same time. We do that all the time anyway. I could be thinking about my lunch right now and I'm still focused on you. So, learning that was huge. And I will say it wasn't easy to learn though. In the beginning, I had to do it over and over. And then eventually, I feel like it's like a muscle. Your brain gets more used to it. And now I can do it pretty easily. But it took me a while to get there. And then the other one, it was one-upping my OCD, and you talk about that in ERP School. Also, I went to Chrissie Hodges' Gamechangers event and Alegra Kastens was talking about one-upping and just giving examples of how she does it in her daily life. I started using that and just really standing up to my OCD. So, for listeners, what that means is, let's say I get an intrusive thought that I'm going to blurt out something really mean to Kimberley. What I would say to my OCD is, “You're right. I am. I'm going to do it and it's fine. I'm just going to do it. You're right.” And just like, kind of what you would say to a bully, just rebel. And when you do it, standing in a really confident posture really helps me, just overpowering it. “You're right. I'm going to blurt out today. I'm going to ruin my reputation. I'm going to go down in history as the worst person ever.” Just make it really dramatic. Kimberley: Yeah. I love it. I do. I do. And I do agree with you on the posture piece, right? I think that power pose we take against OCD or fear can make OCD or the fear back down pretty quick. Not that it makes it go away, but it means you are in charge, not him. Allyson: Exactly. Because OCD and anxiety and eating disorders make you feel really small and powerless. When we feel that way, our body reflects that. And then brain chemicals change that make us feel more like that. So when you change the bodily stance, yeah, it really does work. Kimberley: So curious, did you have that fear about the podcast today? Allyson: No, actually I didn't. I mean, as we talk about it, the thoughts can come up, right? But I didn't go into it that way, which is incredible. Kimberley: Yeah. Would you agree that had you not gone through your own exposure and response prevention, this setting would be something that would be triggering or is it more just face to face with people in your daily lifestyle? Allyson: It totally would have been triggering. Yeah. Because it's any situation that's a bit anxiety-provoking or that's really important to me. So, this is very important to me, right? Or talking to people in my life that are super important. It would come up in those moments. Or with the pandemic, I hadn't seen family for a long time. Then when I finally saw them, I was a little bit anxious and I had these thoughts towards them. So, it's any situation where I feel anxious and sometimes OCD feels like it could be completely random. Kimberley: Right. Oh, it's so good. I like it. I just cannot tell you how rewarding it is just to hear you say. I just love when someone will say like, “Oh, I didn't know I had OCD,” until they found ERP School or something or a podcast or something. So, I just love that information is getting out there. Before we finish up, is there anything that you really want the listeners to know? I know you've already outlined these main key points, but is there anything that maybe we've missed or you want to reinforce a message that's really important for you that they would hear? Allyson: Yeah, absolutely. I think just reflecting on the different journeys of anorexia recovery and OCD recovery, I will say that it is so important to learn that you can tolerate discomfort and anxiety because in anorexia recovery, there was so much focus on coping skills that I use so much distraction and reassurance and then all the compulsion to deal with recovery that I think if I had learned, that you can just tolerate anxiety, you can have a good day with anxiety, that would have prevented so much pain, mental pain. Because now when I get anxious, I'm like, “All right, I'm going to go to work just today, I guess,” or “All right, I'm going to do this anxious,” but it doesn't automatically mean your day is going to be terrible. And that's what OCD, anxiety, those disorders all try to make you feel that way. And it's so empowering to know you can do this. Yeah. You can be an anxious mess and still have a great podcast. Kimberley: 1000%. I love that message so much. I could just keep going. I'm actually really, so I'm going to, of course, give you a chance to share about where people can find you. But all I want to hear is I love hearing the contrast between the eating disorder and the OCD treatment. I think that that's something we're not talking about enough. We should propose a conference talk or something on that because I think it's so important for people to understand those differences and why they're so important and how ERP can actually work for eating disorders as well. So, so cool. Tell us where people can hear more from you. I know you have your own podcast. Tell us all the things. Allyson: Yeah. So you can find me on my podcast. It's just called Body Justice. It's all about social justice, eating disorders, anxiety, all of that. And then on my Instagram @bodyjustice.therapist, and then my website, www.allysonfordcounselingservices.com. And on TikTok too, @bodyjusticetherapist. I'm getting into it. Kimberley: I can't get into TikTok, but I will watch and learn from you. Allyson: It took me a while, but now I'm like, this is a bit easier than Instagram. Kimberley: Oh, is it? Allyson: Yeah. Kimberley: Well, I really am so grateful for you. Number one, I'm so grateful that you're out now as a clinician, training other people how to do this, which makes me so happy. We need more OCD therapists. So, that makes me so happy. But I'm also just grateful that you're here to share this story. I think it's so important that people hear your story and, yeah, I'm just so happy. Allyson: Yes. I'm so grateful too, Kimberley. You've been huge in my journey to recovery from OCD. So, super grateful to talk to you today. Kimberley: I'm so happy to hear that. We'll be hearing more from you in the future. It sounds like you've got some amazing things to share. So, keep up the good work. Allyson: Absolutely. Thank you.

This week’s listener questions focus on the fears associated with gaining weight in eating disorder recovery.

Do you have to completely give up control of your weight if you want to recover from an eating disorder? How do I improve my body image so I don’t relapse into my eating disorder? Do I need to stop weighing myself to completely recover? What if the distress from gaining weight is worse than distress from an eating disorder? How do I manage other people’s expectations of my recovery, if I don’t feel ready for it yet? Eating disorders and eating disorder recovery is complicated... especially with the anti-fat bias that diet culture has created in the world.

Too often do we dismiss mental health struggles as problems that plague one group. But these problems can plague anyone - black or white, young or old, rich or poor. Eating disorders in particular are something that greatly affect Gen-Z, as we are continuously bombarded with talk of fast diets, weight loss fixes, and displays of what the “perfect body” looks like. On today’s episode of The Conversationalist Podcast, we sat down with three amazing guests, all of which have had their own personal struggles with eating disorders/disordered eating, and have used their careers and platforms to change the conversation surrounding them. Domenica Feraud is a playwright and professional actress having starred in popular shows such as Law & Order: SVU. Feraud received formal education at the TIsch School of Arts at NYU and recently developed and starred in the production Rinse, Repeat (2019). Rinse Repeat is a play that focuses on the relationship between a mother and her daughter and the dangers of diet culture. Utilizing her own personal struggle with an eating disorder and her mother’s battle with orthorexia, Feraud hopes to bring about more of an inclusive awareness and break down the myths surrounding disordered eating through more creative projects. Read more about Rinse Repeat in this article featured in Vogue and follow Domenica on social media. Misha Osherovich is an actor, writer, filmmaker, producer, and mental health advocate. He stars in The Goldfinch, NOS4A2, and the play A Clockwork Orange. Misha has struggled with an eating disorder since adolescence and still considers himself to be on an ongoing journey with recovery. Osherovich, along with co-producer Angelica Santiago, created and starred in the independent film, E.very, D.ay, to reflect the lives of two individuals struggling with an active eating disorder. Misha hopes that this project and future ones will help highlight the secretive nature of this disease. Connect with Misha on Instagram and watch the trailer for his film, E.very D.ay. Dr. Jennifer Rollin is a licensed therapist who specializes in helping clients deal with their eating disorders and disordered eating habits. Jennifer is also the founder of The Eating Disorder Center, a group practice located in Rockville, Maryland. Having dealt with her own personal struggles with disordered eating, Rollin is now on a mission to combat the destructive messages being pushed onto young people by today’s media. Jennifer has carefully crafted recovery coaching programs and trainings for those who suffer from disordered eating. She is also a writer for The Huffington Post and Psychology Today.

With the holiday season in full swing, I always like to come back to conversations about body image and disordered eating… because holidays are really intense for a lot of people, myself included, and we are often face to face with anxieties about ourselves, our families, and sometimes with our relationship to food. My guest this week is Jennifer Rollin, an eating disorder therapist and the founder of The Eating Disorder Center. The centre is a therapy practice that provides support to people in Rockville, Maryland and worldwide via video chats. She also writes and speaks about eating disorders on Fox, NBC, ABC, and PBS, as well as writing for The Huffington Post and Psychology Today. What I love about Jennifer is that she’s very no-nonsense and to the point about diet culture – she calls it like she sees it, and her online presence serves as a strong reminder to take a step back from the wellness and health industry messages we’re bombarded with on a daily basis and reset our minds in terms of what those messages are actually getting at. We chat today about debunking this idea of healthy eating, or of wellness culture fads in terms of diet and exercise, and she provides some really useful tips and boundaries you can use to confront these challenges in your day to day lives. She also has a forthcoming book deal that she shares a bit about – so tune in to find out more!

This episode is brought to you by my courses: PCOS and Food Peace and Dietitians PCOS and Food Peace. You CAN make peace with food even with PCOS and I want to show you how. This episode's Dear Food letter: Dear Food, My complicated relationship with you began when I was 13. I had become obsessed with body image and thought all my problems would be solved if I could just be smaller. So I began strict dieting, and was eating less than XYZ calories a day. On this journey my brain became obsessed with food much more than body image. I became anorexic. I wanted to be able to stop restricting but I didn't know how. I was scared and worried I would lose control. My recovery began when i started seeing a dietitian, who gave me the book “intuitive eating”. If it weren't for that book, I don't know where I would be today. I began to eat more normally and gradually gained the weight back, although my mind was still very fixated on food for another year. Once I finally started caring about more things in life than food (about 3 years later) I developed binge eating disorder. Now for a little more than two years I have been struggling to make peace with my body and have spent many nights crying wondering if I will ever be able to eat normally again. I know that binge eating happens when there is a restriction, which makes me afraid that my veganism is getting in the way of me being able to have a healthy relationship with food. I went vegan a few months into my strict dieting phase at 13, after watching a documentary promoting it, but that was mainly for ethical reasons as well as health. Now I know that I'm not doing it for my health or anything body related, but my veganism is a very important part of my belief system, and I don't feel like I could/want to give it up. It's been five years since my initial eating disorder, parallel with the amount of time I've been Vegan. It doesn't really feel like I'm restricting myself, since I'm so used to doing it and there are plenty of vegan alternatives that I enjoy. However every now and then I'll be in a situation where everyone else is eating meat/cheese and part of me just wishes to indulge for that moment. I worry that when those feelings are left ignored it triggers a binge.

The seventh principle of Intuitive Eating addresses the times in life when we may try to numb emotions with food, or feel emotions because of food. We talk about personality traits, learning to recognize emotions, and our physiological responses to psychological stress. Jennifer's work can be found on her site: jenniferrollin.com. She also writes about the anti-diet movement, and eating disorder recovery, for the Huffington Post. She also has a series of webinars, found here.  Questions?

Download Episode! Hey there, lovely radicals... podcast time! This week on the "Life. Unrestricted." podcast, it’s not just vulnerability time, it’s not just real, raw badassery time, no, it’s also ... Well, it’s actually the most fun episode with the most unexpected circumstances I’ve ever had. Mix that with the incredible depth of the conversation, and you’ve got a pretty unique ride ahead of you. And the mission for this one is pretty simple: It is to say, hey, who ever you are out there, you are not alone, you are not crazy, you are not broken... Recovery is messy like that. Eating disorders really come in all shapes and sizes, and they take many forms for the sufferer too. So, lovely radicals, It is my extreme pleasure to bring you Jennifer Rollin, a professional psychotherapist in private practice in Rockville, Maryland. Jennifer is an eating disorder and body image specialist, and expert writer and speaker. She is passionate about helping people to find freedom from eating disorders and body-hatred. Jennifer has completed certificates in CBT-E for Eating Disorders (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), and is a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor. She is a member of The Junior Board of Directors for The National Eating Disorders Association, and her articles have reached thousands of people through print and online media including The Huffington Post, Psychology Today, FabUplus Magazine, Social Work Today Magazine... From out of her practice in Rockville, she offers eating disorder therapy and eating disorder recovery coaching to people worldwide. If you were wondering where the fun part of the situation comes in...... Well, listen for yourself! Jennifer talks about: – Why this very interview is proof that perfectionism is a hindrance to fully experiencing life – How she discovered Health at Every Size (HAES) and why she didn’t fully understand it at first – Why being weight-centric is an active hindrance to recovery from yoyo-dieting, disordered eating, eating disorders AND binge eating – Why she often gets frustrated when people completely misunderstand the message of HAES – When to invest in educating others about HAES and when to prioritize self-care and step back – Why it is so hard to recover into a world that actively promotes disordered eating and disordered exercise behaviors – How we can talk to ourselves when we’re struggling and there’s no one around who seems to understand – How weight-stigma in eating disorders treatment often hinders a full recovery for those who are in treatment, and prevents millions who suffer from actually GETTING treatment – What she would want the world to know about eating disorders and the myths surrounding them – Why the common depiction of eating disorders (anorexia, skeletally skinny, mostly white teenage girls) in the media actually represents the smallest percentage of how eating disorders manifest, and why this is detrimental for all of those who suffer and "don’t feel sick enough" – Why some of the sickest people are not officially diagnosable – What she means when she describes eating disorders as being "competitive and comparative diseases" – Her thoughts on exercise bulimia and why this – very common! – subtype of eating disorders is not being openly addressed more widely – What makes exercise bulimia so hard to overcome – How to reframe exercise behaviors in recovery from compulsive exercise, when the voice in our heads tells us that we "can’t rest" – How to decode those negative body thoughts and find what they really stand for – How to find out what our compulsive behaviors around exercise and food are really about – How to make behavioral changes and set small challenges that support recovery – Why discomfort is an inevitable result of going against our ED voice, and how to see that discomfort as a sign of success in recovery – How she would deal with a client who suffers from exercise bulimia – How she would address entrenched behaviors and habits/rituals that have been in place for years – Why it is so important (in any process of recovery) to find out what really brings us joy in life, and add those things into our lives that do NOT revolve around food or exercise – How we can start to decode and make sense of our are behaviors – How we can recognize moments of body neutrality and slowly create more of those – Why it’s important to ask ourselves "what would I like my life to look like in 5 years from now?" – How she addresses the fear of weight gain with her clients – How to find out what we really want when we say that we "just want to be thin" – How to give less of a damn about what other people think of our recovery, our looks, our eating, our weight or any other comments – How to see the gift in losing those people who only "loved" us for an artificial version of ourselves – Why this process of recovery is the doorway to finding those people who really love us for who we are – The advantage of getting into the mindset of "giving recovery a try", just as one would do with an experiment – Why we need to change behaviors first, in order for the thoughts to be able to adjust and change (or in other words, why there is no "thinking ourselves into recovery") – Why eliminating all restrictions is the crucial step in recovery from anorexia and bulimia – How, after eliminating all restrictions, the most important next step must be to eliminate all compensatory behaviors for eating – Why never to forget that eating disorders are sneaky, and so behaviors can sneak back in almost unnoticeably and suddenly we’re deep in unwanted behaviors again – Why having an accountability partner when reducing the amount and intensity of exercise can be the key to avoid denial... ...

I’m chatting with Jennifer Rollin, MSW, LCSW-C, about the difference between eating disorders and disordered eating, how weight-stigma creates issues within eating disorder recovery and healthcare and our thoughts on ED before and after pics. We talk about: The difference between an eating disorder and disordered eating. Whether or not eating disorders would exist in the absence of diet culture. How weight stigma creates problems in eating disorder recovery and the healthcare system. How to improve eating disorder recovery rates at an institutional level. What you can do for yourself to find better healthcare and support if you feel like you are being discriminated against. What to do at the doctor when they request that you get weighed. Our perspectives on eating disorder before and after pictures – are they problematic or helpful? Plus, so much more! 

A few months ago I connected with psychotherapist Jennifer Rollin in a professional Facebook group we're both in. We both happened to watch a particular interview with an MD who was promoting a pretty strict diet to "cure" depression. It didn't take much digging to find out that there is no substantial evidence to support this doctor's claims, and I thought it would be fun to have Jennifer on the podcast to really hone in on just how dangerous these messages are. My goal with this podcast is NOT to get you as a listener to buy into MY way of eating or moving. My goal is to help you think more critically about the health and wellness information you see out there and learn to become your own expert.
