But I Can’t Possibly Be Hungry, I’ve Just Eaten 13:46

vor 8 Tagen13:46

13:46

‘ I can’t possibly be hungry; I’ve only just eaten,’ is a phrase I have heard many a time in the therapy room. When you’ve overridden your body’s signals unwittingly to well-meaning diet and wellness plans, it’s no surprise that trusting hunger can feel like a dubious phenomenon. Feeling hungry may even feel downright wrong and shameful. You associate hunger with greediness and impulsiveness. You forcefully push the feeling down again and again. Unsurprisingly, you’re no longer attuned to your body’s signals. It’s a jumbled knot. What is hunger? What is emotion? What is something else entirely? You don’t know. This episode dives into hunger and helps you to reconnect with your body again. I hope that you find it helpful.

You might assume that eating disorders are mostly a young person’s predicament, tangled up with puberty, exams stressors and the turbulent transitions of entering adulthood. And yes, young people are extremely vulnerable to struggling with food and body image concerns, but eating disorders impact people of all ages, and this shows up in the therapy room with clients from 16 to 70 years old (I work with adults mainly). This podcast talks specifically about some of the triggers behind eating disorder development post 40 years and some of the unique challenges and perspectives seen by the more mature person.

On the eating disorder recovery road, your motivation for change will ebb and flow. Sadly, it is not a beautifully linear journey with marked destination posts and defined milestones. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if it was! Prochaska and DeClemente’s Cycle of Change offers a model for explaining the precarious change road with its inevitable ambivalence and turbulence. The model is not only for eating disorder recovery but can be applied to a myriad of transformation processes.

Healing your inner child can be a valuable step in your recovery journey. But what exactly does this mean? Inner child work is a process of recognising, understanding, validating and healing emotional wounds that you experienced in your childhood and that continue to unconsciously impact your adult life. If you are experiencing challenges in your adult relationships or with regulating your emotions, then it’s highly likely that you have some inner child work to do. It’s true for most of us. This episode dives into inner child healing. What is it? How to do it? The benefits of this work. I hope that you find it helpful.

Tools to Create a Wise Recovery Mindset in Eating Disorder Recovery 18:39

Your mindset can make or break your healing journey. With 60,000 plus thoughts per day swirling through your mind and many being repetitive, you can see the power of your thoughts to potentially affect your mood and behaviour. Repetitive thoughts can become entrenched beliefs, which create habits, which ultimately shape your life. As Lao Tzu aptly said : - ‘Watch your thoughts, they become your words; watch your words, they become your actions; watch your actions, they become your habits; watch your habits, they become your character; watch your character, it becomes your destiny’. Your thoughts can be hugely impactful in your eating disorder recovery. In this episode, I explore practical tips to support you on your journey. I hope that you find it helpful.

The Psychology of Bulimia: The Shiny Outer and Messy Inner World 8:45

vor 25 Tagen8:45

8:45

As a recovered bulimic, I am deeply fascinated by the psychology of this eating disorder. The interest goes way beyond the surface symptoms and food focus. Although I stopped binge eating and purging over twenty years ago, it has been an ongoing healing journey to work on the deeper psychology which plays out in relationships, self-worth and emotional regulation. As eating disorder recovery is a holistic healing process. It’s not just about food. Symptom removal is an invaluable step in the right direction, but true healing runs far deeper. When I think about bulimic behaviours, these are not only restricted to people who binge and purge through vomiting. The following patterns are also relevant: Normal eating and purging. Chewing and spitting. Binge eating and over-exercising. Binge eating and restriction. Any pattern is relevant that follows the ingestion and expulsion cycle. If you are neurodiverse, particularly if you have ADHD, you may find that the themes I talk about are even more amplified for you. Before, I dive in, as always, I am generalising here, and your experience may not fit neatly into my observations. Always value your own truth and take what is helpful and ignore that which does not resonate with you). I hope that you find it helpful.

The 7 Deadly Signs of Disordered Eating and What is Normal Eating Anyway? 11:15

How do you know if you have a healthy relationship with food and your body? This is an acutely challenging question to answer, as the culture normalises extreme eating practices and body image preoccupation as the norm. Maybe you feel that you don’t have a full-blown eating disorder or you’re not thin enough to properly struggle with food? I would argue that is your eating is causing you distress, it may be worth taking a closer look at it. In this podcast, I’m going to explore different disordered eating behaviours and then suggest some thoughts about what a healthy relationship with food might look like.

Could Intermittent Fasting Work For You? Research and Anecdotal Experience from the Therapy Room 9:21

vor 5 weeks9:21

Intermittent fasting (IF) is wellness cool again. Its benefits are celebrated widely on many a credible health podcast and it consistently trends on social media, described as an elixir to youth and offering benefits such as improved memory, blood sugar control, cardiovascular health, fat loss and autophagy. What’s not to love? IF involves eating during specific time windows and there are various ways to practice this. The less-intense approach involves a 12-hour fast and 12-hour eating window, whereas, more hardened fasters might restrict their eating, to only 8, 6 or even 4 hours. Alternatively, you may also have heard of the 5:2 diet, popularised by the late Dr. Michael Mosley, where fasters eat ‘normally’ for five days of the week, whilst fasting on the remaining two (limiting calories to less than 800 on the fasting days). Like most wellness practices, fasting is a tool. For some people it is life enhancing and for others not so. In this episode, I explore IF as a tool and how it can interlink with eating disorders and disordered eating. I hope that you find it helpful.

How to Eat Donuts, Chocolate and Pizza With Permission and Without Bingeing 25:54

If you’re recovering from an eating disorder, you might well desire to eat all the foods that you have been depriving yourself of, as a rebellion against the restriction or dieting fatigue. You may have an all or nothing relationship with food. You’re either being super-healthy and good, or chaotic and devouring everything in sight. Maybe you binge on ‘bad foods’ that you would normally forbid yourself. In recovery, it’s helpful to move towards permitting all these foods into your eating plan. This doesn’t mean eating donuts for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Or throwing health goals out of the window. It’s about embracing food neutrality and taking food off the pedestal of maximal pleasure. It’s possible to achieve healthy eating (not orthorexic eating!), whilst honouring taste, satisfaction and pleasure. Understandably, you might not know where to start. This podcast episode will give your practical steps to make this possible. I hope that you find it helpful.

5 Emotions that Drive Binge Eating 19:37

vor 9 weeks19:37

19:37

Binge eating is not simply scoffing an extra biscuit, with your morning coffee break. Instead, it involves eating fast, an extremely large amount of food (more than you would eat for lunch or dinner), and usually in secret. It can feel like a dissociative or ‘out of body’ experience. You are fully present and grounded on earth, but it feels as if demon has swept over you and taken all rational decision making away. Binge eating can fleetingly be euphoric and pleasurable. This is short-lived before guilt, shame and self-loathing descend like a dark cloud. Plus, the physical consequences of feeling over-full are deeply unpleasant and sometimes painful. Binge eating can happen across the different eating disorders and within disordered eating. You might have anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder or OSFED (Other Specified Feeding and Eating Disorder). Or you may not fit neatly into a diagnostic box. Fundamentally, if you are bingeing and your symptoms are causing you distress, you are worthy of support and help. In this episode, I discuss 5 emotions that drive binge eating and how to cope differently.

How To Actually Love Yourself (When Everyone Tells You That Getting Thinner Just Won't Work) 11:10

vor 11 weeks11:10

11:10

How to actually love yourself? If you’re on the body image healing road, you’ve probably been told multiple times, by multiple people that you simply need to love yourself. That your desire for thinness is a marker of not feeling good enough and that you’re seeking scraps of worthiness through conforming towards the ‘body ideal’. When I was in the dreary depths of bulimia, wise people would often dispense this advice to me with noble intentions. I would placatingly nod my head, whilst secretly rolling my eyes and having zero understanding of how to do this. It felt like some ephemeral, nice-to-have fluffy concept. Self-love is sadly not a quick fix pill, rather a life-long journey that needs regular cultivation and attention. And it’s an important journey to take. Otherwise, the miserable alternative is neurotic self-preoccupation and judgement. It can’t be firmly rooted with a luxury bubble bath or spa visit, although these delights might be sprinkles on the top, of a cup filled fully. A truly self-loving relationship offers an internal fortitude of peace and contentment. It vastly improves your relationships, romantic and otherwise. It allows the possible fulfilment and deep appreciation of work and hobbies. It allows you to form a haven inside of yourself.

When Exercise is Compulsive: 12 Ways To Find a Healthier Relationship with Movement 10:05

vor 11 weeks10:05

10:05

Compulsive exercise is not joyful. It has become a weary, punishing ‘should’ to endure despite injury and bone-weary exhaustion. You cannot stop. Your sanity depends on completing the next workout and achieving your step count. It’s rigid and time robbing of precious life moments. You rely on exercise to earn your meals and to give you permission to eat. It is a distraction from difficult emotions. It’s intricately linked to weight control and body image. It’s more than psychological. When you are restricting your food intake, the brain chemical, leptin is significantly reduced. This drives the urge to be active and move. It’s a survival mechanism in human beings which would have kept us alive in scarce times gone by. Activity can be happening in different forms. You may be openly and deliberately engaging in activities such as gym sessions or swimming. Or you may have become secretive in increasing your exercise through additional pacing around the house, when no-one is there. Or standing for long periods rather than comfortably sitting down. Or you may have joined more than one gym so you can do extra sessions without prompting concern from staff. You may feel confused about the healthiness of your exercise. In a world that praises constant movement and screams forcefully about the fear of eating too much, you may well be validated for your extreme regime, viewed as ‘the fit person’, as others do not understand your internal torture and compulsion. In this episode, I explore signs that your relationship with movement may be unhealthy with practical steps for change. I hope that you find it helpful.

Today, many of my clients enter the therapy room with a diagnosis or self-diagnosis of ADHD. They have often only recently realised the humungous impact on their lifetime relationship with food. If you have ADHD, you have increased vulnerability to suffering from an eating disorder, particularly bulimia nervosa or binge eating disorder. This is backed up by research finding that people with ADHD are four times more likely to have an eating disorder than those without. ADHD adds a layer of complexity in navigating your food relationship, when this is already hugely challenging in a diet obsessed world.

Making Sense of your Eating Disorder Through Psychological Formulation 23:56

Making sense of your eating disorder through psychological formulation If you’re lost in the jungle of your eating disorder, without a map to guide you safely, you probably feel intense confusion and overwhelm. Why can’t I just eat normally? Why the constant obsessions with food? What is wrong with me? You likely feel terribly alone. To begin to unravel the tangled ed vines that have wrapped themselves tortuously around you, and to shed some awareness and understanding of the complexity of the issue, therapists sometimes use the tool of psychological formulation. Psychological formulation aims to piece together the different parts of the jigsaw, to bring light and clarity. It provides a zoom-out perspective of the eating disorder, as a coping strategy. It peels back the different layers of the psychological onion offering insights and hope around change. In this episode, I explore a psychological formulation and how you can use this as a tool in therapy. I hope that you find it helpful.

Does CBT-E Work for Treating Eating Disorders? 10:35

CBT-E is one of the most favoured and researched therapies for eating disorders. It means enhanced cognitive behaviour therapy. If you access support via the NHS (assuming that you are based in the UK), you may well be offered this treatment, particularly if you meet diagnostic criteria for anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa or binge eating disorder. The approach is described as transdiagnostic, as it’s relevant for several different eating disorder diagnoses. CBT-E was developed by Professor Christopher Fairburn and his team in Oxford over two decades ago, initially as a treatment for bulimia nervosa but then it expanded out to treat other eating disorders too. In this episode, I explore CBT-E, my experience of delivering it and considerations for clients. I hope that you find it helpful.

The Incredible Benefits of Art Therapy in Eating Disorder Recovery, with Alexandra Lederman 36:31

Today, I’m talking with Alexandra Lederman, an art therapist working in Melbourne, Australia. After working as a fine artist and discovering the benefits and value of the creative process, Alex knew that she wanted to help others learn how to express and communicate through art. Alex’s experience lies in therapeutic support for diverse population groups, including young children and their families, adolescents and the elderly. Her approach is person centred, strengths-based and aims to work with the individual and their wider network. Her personal strength is the ability to incorporate the visual arts into therapeutic healing and growth. Alex works using a lens from Polyvalgal Theory, which helps her to understand her own emotional state, as well as being able to meet her clients where they are at and help them to find a sense of safety, regulation, play and connection. In the episode today, Alex talks about her own eating disorder recovery journey and how art was an integral part of this. She talks about the role of art in eating disorder recovery, how it can help, support and heal. Alex explains about the use of Polyvagal Theory and Internal Family Systems in her work. She also talks about her upcoming ‘All Your Colours Programme’, starting in May 2025, for people with eating disorders. This is an integrative specialist online therapy group for people with eating disorders (at any stage in their recovery). This is such an interesting episode and opens the mind to many creative possibilities available in recovery, outside conventional treatments. I hope that you enjoy it.

Eating disorder recovery is often a murky, dark and difficult road with sporadic glimmers of hope along the way. It’s digging around in the depths of your psyche to work through traumas and abandonment wounds. It’s about interrupting disordered cycles with food, which have long protected and kept you safe. It’s profoundly challenging work. You might feel distinctly worse before you feel better. The road feels long and winding. You reach one summit to only realise that there are many more on the horizon. So perhaps it feels ‘toxically positive’ to romanticise aspects of recovery and eek out some goodness amongst the gloom and doom? Yes and no!

Restrictive eating, under the guise of wellness is very normalised. As we live in a society that continues to validate thinness on the pedestal of achievement. The impact of undereating on the body can be profound. It’s not something that just skinny people do. If you’re a serial dieter or you struggle with eating disorders or disordered eating, then you probably relate to hunger and food preoccupation as a predictable part of the fabric of daily life. You might think that this is just your personality, whereas in fact it’s about restriction. And remember that 85% of people with eating disorders are not underweight. You can still be hungry and depriving yourself, whilst looking healthy. In this episode, I explore the impact of restrictive eating on body, mind and soul. I hope that you find it helpful.

9 Learnings from Working as a Therapist in an Adult Eating Disorder Service 11:19

vor 18 weeks11:19

11:19

I worked as a therapist in an NHS adult eating disorder service on and off between house moves, babies and life between 2004 and 2023. Working in the NHS had never been my strategic career plan. At 23 years old, I knew that I wanted to work in eating disorders, but the chaos of my early twenties meant that I was running on ideas and dreams, rather than having any concrete plan. Initially, my decision to train as a therapist came from my own wounded healer abandonment issues and wanting to save others. This wounded place was a helpful starting point and initiation for change. It gave me purpose and hope as I floundered in the choppy waters of life, but feeling reassured by the distant lighthouse shining its beacon out to sea. I began my therapist training aged 25, with vigorous youthful enthusiasm and joy. 4 years later and working in Student Support at my local university, I fell upon a job advert for an eating disorder therapist. It was a new service coming to my city and embedded deeply in a psychological approach to treatment. I decided to apply, even though officially, I was an unsuitable candidate for the role. Miraculously, I was offered the job and the incredible mentors who interviewed me back in 2004, continue to be in my life today. And it opened me up to a whole wealth of experience and learning for the next 19 years. This episode explores 9 things I learned on this journey.

Becky describes herself as a dog Mum of two sausage dogs, a human first, and she likes to knit and is sustainability conscious. In the episode today, Becky talks about her own recovery journey focusing particularly around eating difficulties and the interplay with neurodivergence.

Today I have a returning guest to the podcast and I am talking to Marcelle Rose, founder of Marcelle Rose Nutrition. Marcelle specialises in helping women beat binge eating, bulimia, emotional eating and yo-yo dieting so they can make peace with their body and heal their relationship with food. She acknowledges that for many people that this is a transformational experience, so they can reclaim their life. Marcelle is a BANT registered nutritionist and health coach with specialist training in eating disorders and behaviour change, being a Master Practitioner from the NCFED, plus having undertaken further training in Socratic Questioning for ED’s and body image. Today, Marcelle is going to do a deep dive into binge eating. She talks about her method for doing this, which is explained in her new book, The Binge Freedom Method, which is now available to buy. Marcelle’s approach is grounded in science, eating psychology, and nutritional wisdom. Her transformative approach offers a clear path to freedom from binge, emotional and compulsive eating. Through four essential pillars – Nourish, Balance, Think, and Feel – Marcelle explains the tools and strategies to stabilise your eating habits and overcome binge urges and to have a healthy relationship with food. If you’re struggling with binge eating, emotional eating or compulsive eating, this episode is for you. There’s so much packed into this conversation. I hope that you enjoy it.
