Episode Notes

TRIGGER WARNING: This week's episode covers Binge Eating Disorder in depth and touches on other eating disorders

You may remember my guest this week from an episode a few months back. Amy Rapone is back to talk about a completely different topic and book! Last time we talked about #veryfat #verybrave by Nicole Byers. It was a fun and tongue-in-cheek discussion about body acceptance and body image. This time we are heading in a completely different direction to talk about Binge Eating Disorder by Amy Pershing and Chevese Turner. While this discussion is a bit more serious we still have a lot of laughs and talk about some great tools that can be used to connect with your body even if you don't have BED. We cover a lot of ground, including:

Amy's body liberation journey
Amy's experience with eating disorder treatment
What is Binge Eating Disorder
How rebellion fits with Binge Eating Disorder
Why bingeing is not emotional eating or overeating
How do you know if it is a binge?
What factors can create a climate for BED?
Why there is so much discussion of your childhood being key to development of this disorder
Parts theory and figuring out where BED came from
What is POWR and how can it help?
How curiosity and compassion are the one-two punch to help us create mindfulness and connect to our bodies
What weight stigma is and how it impacts BED
What is HAES?
Your body is your home and how Amy does this for her body
How ATM and intuitive eating intersect
What about recovery?

Keep reading everyone!
