The Eating Disorder Therapist

Today I am talking to Marcelle Rose, founder of Marcelle Rose Nutrition. Marcelle specialises in helping women beat binge eating, bulimia, emotional eating and yo-yo dieting so they can make peace with their body and heal their relationship with food. She acknowledges that for many women that this is a transformational experience, so they can reclaim their life. Marcelle is a BANT registered nutritionist and health coach with specialist training in eating disorders and behaviour change, being a Master Practitioner from the NCFED, plus having undertaken further training in Socratic Questioning for ED’s and body image. In the episode today, we explore Marcelle’s journey into this work and what inspired her to walk this road. She then talks about how you can build a happy relationship with food and why it is so helpful to foster this happy relationship with food and our bodies. Marcelle explores normal eating versus disordered eating. She talks about how you can reconnect with your appetite cues and how nutritional therapy can help you if you’re struggling with eating disorders or disordered eating. Marcelle also explores the role of diet culture, wellness, beauty and the fitness industry in all of this and how this can all impact on mindset, beliefs about food and dieting, body image and self-worth. So much packed into this conversation. I hope that you enjoy it.   To find out more about Marcelle Rose Nutrition: -  Website: -http://marcellerosenutrition.co.uk/.

Today I’m talking with Julia Trehane who is an anorexia, orthorexia and compulsive exercise recovery coach. Julia has overcome 40 years gripped by eating disorders and is now passionate about instilling hope for change in others. Julia Trehane is a podcast host, eating disorder coach, food freedom advocate and anti-diet culture campaigner.  Julia uses her wealth of scientific understanding, applied with a huge amount of love to help people all around the world to break free from eating disorders and love themselves once more. Having survived 40 years of anorexia, orthorexia and exercise addiction, Julia has a deep understanding of how it feels to be gripped by food prison, how the mind processes information in an eating disorder and how to re-wire our thoughts to break free and return to freedom forever.  If you’re feeling lost, stuck and hopeless, living in the depths of an eating disorder, this is definitely an episode for you. Julia shares about her long and arduous battle with eating disorders, describing how she hit rock bottom in the pandemic and experienced some incredibly dark times. She shares with great vulnerability and openness about how she turned things around and began healing. Julia talks about going ‘all-in’ in recovery, in all senses of the word by embracing restriction, exercise, perfectionism, rigid routines and deep-rooted fear about life. You will be encouraged, supported and inspired by what is possible. I hope that you enjoy the conversation.

In this episode, I explore getting started on the recovery road. It can be daunting and overwhelming to even think about acknowledging the existence of an eating problem to yourself, let alone taking steps to manage it. I talk you through some initial steps to support you and offer the opportunity to understand food issues from a psychological perspective. I hope that you find it helpful.

People that develop eating disorders tend to be sensitive souls, who feel their feelings very deeply. Ultimately this is a super-power and means that individuals are hugely empathetic, kind and compassionate beings. But it also means that the world can feel overwhelming and tricky to navigate at times. It can exacerbate issues with low self-esteem, people pleasing, perfectionism and in managing emotions. In this episode, I focus in on pleasing and perfectionist traits to hopefully help those with eating disorders feel better understood and to offer carers and loved ones further insight. Of course, I am generalising in this episode and every person’s experience is unique, so if you don’t relate, trust your inner wisdom and your own path. I hope that you enjoy the episode.

A Bite Size episode. Underneath an eating disorder is often a deep sense of shame. In this episode, I explore shame, with the loneliness and isolation that accompanies it. I talk about the perceived envy and sense of competition you might feel from others and the associated shame with this. I normalise shame as a universal feeling that we all experience, and explore strategies to overcome it. I hope that you enjoy the episode.

This episode was released in 2021 and has been one of my most popular downloads, so I thought that I would share it again, whilst I head off for few days holiday. I’m talking about food and feelings. I explore how our early relationship with food develops, the emotional environment at home and how this all intertwines to influence the food and feelings connection. I explain how you can begin to tune into your emotions and find healthier ways of coping, rather than restricting or overeating. I hope that you enjoy this episode.

A Bite Size episode exploring comparisons and competitiveness in people with eating disorders. It’s very common that people with eating disorders can feel competitive with one another. Eating disorders are very destructive illnesses and you can almost feel that you are never sick enough. I think the competitive/comparing phenomenon is also rife in daily life with social media etc. It is easy to look sideways and to notice what others are doing/having and feeling a lack. You compare yourself and then you don’t feel good enough. In this episode, I dive into how to manage this. I explore ways to interrupt the competitive mindset and also to look deeper into what lies underneath. Often, envy and jealousy of others can indicate our own unmet needs and give an entry point to considering personal wants and desires. I hope that you find this helpful.

Today I’m talking to Scarlett O Connor (BSc EFTi EFTMRA), an accredited and experienced Emotional Freedom Technique Therapist who works with clients in recovery from eating disorders. Scarlett has been on her own healing journey, after suffering for over 25 years with eating disorders. She now is passionate about supporting others with healing and inspiring hope for recovery. In this conversation, we explore Scarlett’s healing journey from different eating disorders. Scarlett shares her unique approach and reflects on helpful and less helpful support that she received on her own healing. She talks about dealing with food and eating more; the eating disorder voice; looking at the eating disorder in its present context and function, rather than getting lost in the past; her dislike of food diaries; finding the ‘grey’ rather than an ‘all or nothing’ mindset; dealing with feelings that emerge in recovery; thoughts on body image and finding your voice and self-acceptance. I hope that you enjoy the conversation.
