Back To Basics (1/4): Do I Have a Problem?

The first in a four-part series called: Back to Basics to explore the foundational concepts of disordered eating and eating disorders from the ground floor. We hear from so many people who weren't aware that their experiences had a name, or that other people are dealing with them, too. In this first session, we're looking at the question: Do I Have a Problem? Is what I'm dealing with considered a disorder? Is it binge eating? Restricting? Orthorexia? What if I'm just an emotional eater? Do you need to have a diagnosis to listen to this podcast or get "help"? Binge Eating, Restriction, Orthorexia, Bulimia, and Chronic Dieting What's the difference between ED and disordered eating? Is it helpful to name the problem? Do we need labels? A few ways of looking at it If you stop binge eating and you just overeat, is your issue more stigmatized? Now it's not even a "real" eating disorder? What is binge eating? "Normal amounts of food" is highly subjective Does "normal eating" even exist nowadays?? What constitutes "restriction"? Whats the difference between "normal healthy eating" and orthorexia? Stef offers three criteria for consideration Are anxious attachment styles more susceptible to EDs? When does emotional eating become a disorder When does body image distress become disordered?
