Imagine feeling trapped in a cycle where food becomes both a comfort and a weapon. In this episode of 'A Wise Mind', host Sam Zimmer sits down with Dr. Laura Riss, a clinical psychologist from Atlanta, GA, who specializes in eating disorders and trauma. Dr. Riss dives into the intricate relationship between traumatic experiences and the development of eating disorders, especially among adult survivors of childhood abuse.
She explains how behaviors like food restriction, excessive dieting, and over-exercising can offer a false sense of control while numbing painful memories. But it’s not just about the trauma; it's also about how individuals use disordered eating to cope with their emotions and past experiences. Dr. Riss discusses Sabino Recovery’s trauma-focused approach to treating eating disorders, emphasizing the importance of addressing underlying mental health issues rather than just symptoms.
If you've ever wondered how trauma can shape one's relationship with food or if you're looking for compassionate insights into recovery, this episode offers valuable perspectives and practical advice.
