Disordered Eating: How to Break the Cycle - with Dr. Christina Stai

Disordered eating can take on many forms, from anorexia nervosa to orthorexia, but many of these conditions find similar roots in past and childhood trauma, abuse, obsessive compulsive disorder, and body dysmorphia. Unfortunately, we are also prone to passing disordered eating behaviors onto our children. In this episode, we are privileged to interview Dr. Christina Stai, Psy.D, licensed clinical psychologist and author of Don't Pass It On. We discuss the characteristics of disordered eating, what events and factors can cause it to arise, how to recognize it and seek treatment, and how to avoid passing disordered eating onto your children. Whether you personally suffer from disordered eating or not, this is a great episode to help you understand the mindset that can lead to a need to control your food, and how that can become an unhealthy behavior over the long-term.  Find Dr. Christina on their website: https://holisticresourcesclinic.com And social media: Instagram: @holisticresourcesclinic; @dr.christina.stai Facebook: Holistic Resources  Buy a copy of Dr. Christina's book (highly recommended for ANY parent, not just parents dealing with disordered eating!!): amazon.com/author/dr.christina.stai
