How To Recognize An Eating Disorder In Your Partner And How To Support Them To Get Help... With Jen Rollin, LCSW!
Awesome video episode with my friend and respected colleague Jen Rollin! It's a myth that only teenage girls have eating disorders. In fact, as we discuss in this episode, eating disorders are highly linked to OCD and prevent many partners from tasting food, going on date nights, and engaging in a relaxed way in the relationship overall. Jennifer Rollin, MSW, LCSW-C is an award-winning therapist and founder of The Eating Disorder Center in Rockville, Maryland, who specializes in working with adolescents and adults with eating disorders including, anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, body image issues, and compulsive exercise, & eating disorders co-occurring with OCD.

When Your Partner Needs To Walk On Eggshells Around You, They Can't Also Be Romantic Or Sexual
Some people think that their moodiness is just who they are, and completely fail to understand that no healthy person is able to be vulnerable and open with them if they are easily angered, hurt, or annoyed. This means that their romantic and sex lives suffer because of their moodiness, but they never work on their moodiness... at least not until this episode gives them a wake up call!
