Kathryn is joined by Dr. Paula Freedman-Diamond, PsyD, to talk about the intersection between eating disorders and ADHD, and how these challenges often overlap. Dr. Paula explains how people with ADHD/neurodivergence may struggle to recognize hunger and fullness cues and offers practical tips for making recovery work. She encourages self-acceptance and working with your unique brain, not against it. Dr. Paula also discusses the topic of perfectionism and toxic striving in our culture, how it fuels disordered eating, and strategies for overcoming it.
