The eating disorder happens because it works. It might give them something that they feel good about when they don't feel good about any other aspect of themselves or their lives.
Body image is a tricky subject for many, and it can be even more challenging when eating disorders come into play. In this episode of 'Thoughtful Human', host Ali O'Grady sits down with Dr. Margo Maine, a seasoned clinical psychologist specializing in eating disorders for over 35 years. Dr. Maine is also a founding member of the National Eating Disorders Association, making her insights invaluable for anyone grappling with these issues or supporting someone who is.
The conversation dives into the everyday struggles with body image and digs deeper into clinical eating disorders, shedding light on how these conditions develop and persist. Dr. Maine shares practical advice on how to approach conversations about body image and eating disorders with sensitivity and care. She highlights the importance of using the right language, debunking common myths, and fostering a supportive environment.
They also explore Relational Cultural Theory (RCT) and how it can aid in treatment, along with prevention strategies and tools for self-acceptance. If you're looking for ways to support a loved one or seeking to understand more about eating disorders, this episode offers a compassionate and informative guide.
