In this empowering episode, clinical psychologist Dr. Lauren Napolitano, PsyD, explores the often-overlooked connection between intimate partner violence (IPV) and eating disorders. We break down what IPV and narcissistic abuse really mean, unpack trauma bonds and coercive control, and highlight key warning signs in relationships. You’ll learn why eating disorders and IPV frequently co-occur, how abuse cycles develop, and how these patterns often play out in real life. This episode offers practical tools for treatment providers and hope for anyone who may feel trapped, isolated, or unsure of what to do next.
