Join Dr. Elizabeth Hamlin and me to discuss the age old concept of eating disorders as a means of communication in a new way. Eating disorders are far more than a struggle with one's food and body image. It's a larger emotional battle that emerges to communicate pain without words. Learn more about how we know that and what you can do about it in this episode.
