Body Image E3: Identifying and Healing Disordered Eating

How do I know if my relationship with food is "healthy"? Lisa explores eating disorders, including anorexia, bulimia, and OSFED (Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorders) and their impact. Racquel shares her experience with an eating disorder, and the journey that brought her to recovery and self-love with the help of mental health professionals and dieticians. Amy Harman LMFT, CEDS-S gives insight on the ways society has normalized disordered thinking and eating, and how we can recognize counterproductive attitudes toward food in our own behavior. Lisa reflects on the subtle messages around us that encourage toxic relationships with food, and how we can work to destigmatize this incredibly common experience, so that we can heal, and encourage others around us in their journeys of healing and recovery.
