Eating Disorders & Sexuality (Ft. Dr. Jessica Singh)

Are you asexual, or is it just your eating disorder? Can your relationship with food mirror your relationship with sex?

In this week's episode I am joined by therapist, sexologist and author of 'Nourishing Desire: A Guide to Sexual Recovery and Discovery for People with Eating Disorders', Dr. Jessica Singh.

Topics covered include:

- The biological and psychological impact of an eating disorder on libido

- Body image, and the importance of embodiment

- The 'spectrum of control', and how this relates to eating and sexuality

- Asexuality as a sexual orientation, versus 'ED induced asexuality'

- How shame can impact sexuality

- Practical tips for people struggling with sexual function in recovery
