17) PART ONE: Dr. Aubrey Carpenter on Disordered Eating, Why It's Not Your Fault, and Where to Find Quality Support

All resources linked in the show notes -- this episode, part one of two, is PACKED with information, resources, support, comfort. Whether you're a coach wanting to elevate the way you support your clients, a person wondering if you're teetering on having an eating disorder, or you've recovered but a refresh of insight and resources will be helpful, this will be impactful. Dr. Aubrey Carpenter is a licensed clinical psychologist who has spent over a decade working as a pediatric psychologist, educator, and researcher in child mental health and parenting support. She completed her PhD at Boston University, her predoctoral internship at Boston Children's Hospital, and her postdoctoral fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital before returning to her native Vermont to raise her family. Dr. Carpenter spent three years working at UVM Medical Center in the adolescent eating disorders clinic, and was involved in state-level advocacy that led to increased funding for eating disorder programming and training for Vermont providers.  She also recently started a private practice called It Takes A Village, where she is exclusively seeing parents and caregivers in need of support, after seeing firsthand that behind the youth mental health crisis is a widespread community of parents doing their best with limited resources.
