A Deep Dive into ADHD, Autism, Trauma and Eating Disorders with Becky Grace Irwing
from The Eating Disorder Therapist · host HARRIET FREW
Today, I’m talking to Becky Grace Irwing, a BABCP Accredited CBT & EMDR qualified Therapist and qualified Mental Health Nurse. Becky spent 8 years as a Mental Health Nurse and 3 years as a CBT Therapist. She has worked across many mental health services for 14 years including acute, forensic and CAMHS services as well as University Mental Health and Disability Services and a London talking therapies service. She has a background history as a Fitness and Yoga Instructor of 10 years, and has worked in the fitness industry from the age of 17 to 35. Becky specialises in Eating Disorders, Neurodiversity and complex trauma issues and the link between these. She has a lived experience of binge eating for nearly 30 years, and has been recovered for 7 years. Becky has ADHD and is self-diagnosed with Autism. Becky describes herself as a dog Mum of two sausage dogs, a human first, and she likes to knit and is sustainability conscious. In the episode today, Becky talks about her own recovery journey focusing particularly around eating difficulties and the interplay with neurodivergence. She then goes on to talk about why neurodivergent humans can be particularly vulnerable to developing eating disorders. She talks about eating disorders as coping strategies and explores in more depth the issues that often present in therapy when someone has ADHD or autism. It's a really interesting episode. Becky has a wealth of information to share. I hope that you enjoy it.
