Synergistic Stepparenting Podcast #35: Deconstructing Eating Disorders with Dr. Dara Bushman: Part 1
Hey stepparents!
Maria Natapov here, stepparenting coach and strategist. I am so excited to introduce you to Dr. Dr. Bushman. With whom we had the pleasure of having a conversation this week talking all about eating disorders and disordered eating.
Recently, I did an interview with my stepdaughter, who is incredible. Where she delved into her trauma story of abuse and neglect and trauma recovery. And we touched on her issues with eating. Those episodes can be found at synergisticstepparenting.com/33 and synergisticstepparenting.com/34.
I'm never quite sure whether to say eating disorders or disordered eating. Which is one of the many things that I'm hoping Dr. Bushman would clarify for us today. And get some really good tips around how to identify and help ourselves and our children with disordered eating. And how to have conversations about it and how to navigate that very complex world. Because, as we know, food is all around us. It is such an enormous part of our culture and our everyday.
So I can't wait to delve into this conversation. Without further ado, I introduce you to Dr. Dara Bushman!
Episode Covers:
- Dr. Dara Bushman and her background as an eating disorders specialist
- The Difference Between Eating Disorders and Disordered Eating
- Perspective is Key In Identifying Eating Disorders
