Almost no one is free from beliefs, rules and attitudes about food. But some of us have experienced an undue amount of emotional pain as a result, riding this rollercoaster of harshly conditional self-love. And some people develop full blown eating disorders where rules, punishment, and rebellion formulate some of the most wretched, soul-destroying patterns to break free from. But ultimately, whether you have an eating disorder or are caught up in dieting and other disordered forms of eating, the truth is it's probably not about the food. Featuring: Eating disorder specialist and producer of the PBS documentary "Erasing ED", Nicole Laby, MFT. www.nicolelaby.com Producer, director, writer, and actor for the comedy web-series "The Skinny”, Jessie Kahnweiler. www.jessiekahnweiler.com Registered dietician, blogger at "Dare to Not Diet", and co-host of the podcast “Dietitians Unplugged”, Glenys Oyston, RD. www.daretonotdiet.com Written & Produced by: Lily Sloane Jessica Brown http://integralcounseling.org/staff/index.html Theme Song by: Topher M.

Jessie Kahnweiler joined us in January to share a very intimate story about her struggles with bulimia and the complex maternal relationship it was tied to. Jessie is the creator of the new show "The Skinny" on Wifey.tv, you should check it out!
Jessie Kahnweiler - bold, brash, ballsy, and beautiful - joins us with the powerful piece she read in Taboo Tales last summer and our conversation goes just about everywhere from there - she even makes Corey cry. Like ugly cry. Really ugly.
Jessie Kahnweiler had a tough sell: a short satirical comedy about rape. Wait, wait, wait - hear us out. Years ago, in her college years, Jessie was raped. For more than half a decade she'd been trying to tell herself she was okay. Outwardly, that's what she told people. But that creeping sensation, the kind where deep down something is dreadfully wrong, it was only a matter of time before it gurgled back up. But Jessie has kind of did the impossible. She's a talented, intelligent, filmmaker with a wicked sense of a humor. So guess what? Her film is really, really funny. This episode is the story behind the story, but if you've yet to watch Meet My Rapist, you'll find it embedded right here on thelapse.org. It was a selection at the 2014 Slamdance Film Festival. You'd be missing something special if you skipped it. Want to hear the full, unedited interview? Keep The Lapse alive on Patreon. We're a mere $65 from our goal as of this writing and we've got a whack of fun stuff if you do. Download Meet My Rapist NOW on iTunes, Stitcher, or stream it at the link below.
