Ep. 144: Eating Disorders and Narcissistic Relationships (with Dr. Ramani Durvasula)

Dr. Ramani Durvasula joins Kathryn Hansen to talk about the intersection between eating disorders and narcissistic relationships. You'll learn: How parents with narcissistic traits can lead their children down a path to restrictive dieting, body image issues, and emotional overregulation. Why some of the qualities that make a person susceptible to an eating disorder (such as perfectionism and low self-esteem) can also make them vulnerable to getting stuck in narcissistic relationships in adulthood. How harmful relationships dynamics can become connected to harmful eating habits...and much more! If you are experiencing toxic relationship patterns in addition to your struggle with food, this episode with Dr. Ramani will provide guidance and a path to healing.
