The Language of Eating Disorders: Metaphor, Meaning & Recovery with Dr. Anita Johnston

Dela

What if disordered eating is more than a behavior?

What if symptoms are actually stories in disguise and learning to listen to them could change everything?

In this thought-provoking conversation, depth psychologist and Eating in the Light of the Moon author Dr. Anita Johnston explores the deeper meaning behind eating disorders, emotional sensitivity, and the journey toward authentic self-discovery. Through powerful metaphors and insights grounded in both psychology and neuroscience, Dr. Johnston explains why eating disorders often develop as protective coping mechanisms—and why recovery is not about becoming someone new, but reconnecting with who you truly are. Together, Dr. Johnston and host Ellie Pike discuss the tension between belonging and authenticity, the importance of emotional literacy and assertive communication, and how learning to listen to our symptoms with curiosity and compassion can help guide the path toward healing.
