I'm Becca, a therapist specializing in binge eating and body image, and this is the Once Upon a Binge podcast, where I have honest conversations with guests about breaking free from the binge restrict cycle and finding body acceptance.
Today, I'm joined by Anne Richardson. Anne is a registered nutritional therapist, cognitive behavioural therapy practitioner, lecturer, and supervisor. She's been practicing for more than 10 years and exclusively works in the field of disordered eating.
Anne suffered with anorexia in her teens, and now draws from her lived experience to blend her knowledge of nutrition with her CBT skills. She works with people all over Europe to help them achieve food freedom. She is also invested in helping other practitioners work with disordered eaters, as she recognizes that general nutritional advice can be extremely damaging to disordered eaters.
Anne is also a mom, the maker of all things, and especially a keen baker.
In our conversation today, we talk about supporting clients through cooking in recovery, the role of nutrition, and whether you fully recover from an eating disorder or not.
We also dive into:
✨ The role of nutrition in recovery
✨ Why calorie counting keeps people stuck
✨ Using rigid thinking to our advantage in recovery
✨ Cooking with clients in eating disorder recovery
✨ Perfectionism and control in anorexia
✨ The flaws with My Fitness Pal
✨ Mechanical eating vs intuitive eating
✨ Whether the “eating disorder voice” ever fully disappears
✨ Recovery, body image, and coping with stress
💜
