Disordered Eating Podcast
Each week we explore the deeper meaning of our relationship with food and our body. I interview experts in the field of eating disorders and psychoanalysis to bring you the answers about why you do the things you do and bring you one step closer to a healthier relationship with food and yourself.
Using Storytelling with Dr. Anita Johnston
Do you love stories? I LOVE stories!
Stories are awesome. Besides being incredibly entertaining, they have the power to be completely transformative. And I mean that literally.
Today, we talk with Dr. Anita Johnston about the impact that stories and metaphors can have on your journey to heal your relationship with food. And we talk about why it works, the neuroscience and psychology of it all.
Anita Johnston, Ph.D., is a Depth Psychologist, Certified Eating Disorder Specialist, and author of Eating in the Light of the Moon: How Women Can Transform Their Relationships with Food
