[Repost] #189: False Pictures of Health with Tiffany Roe, Anti-Diet Mental-Health Counselor

Food Psych Podcast with Christy Harrison

Mental-health counselor and fellow podcaster Tiffany Roe joins us to discuss how diet culture paints false pictures of what health and eating disorders “look like”; the connections between religion, shame, diet culture, and eating-disorder recovery; why we need to fight fatphobia in the eating-disorder-treatment field; why even therapists have internalized stigma about mental illness and treatment, and so much more! Plus, Christy answers a listener question about how navigating emotional eating fits into the intuitive eating process. (This episode originally aired on March 11, 2019.)
