Chevese Turner & Amy Pershing on the power of advocacy, much over-due community call-ins and making sense of Binge Eating Disorder.

In this episode, Amy and Chevese share their lived experiences with an eating disorder and how it has influenced and enhanced their work. We discuss the pervasive myths, assumptions, stigmatisations and biases surrounding Binge Eating Disorder (BED), what it was like starting a non-for-profit organisation and having BED recognised in the DSM-5. Amy talks about why and how making sense of BED can support healing, more about the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model and how Health At Every Size (HAES) (R) can change and define ones practice.

On this episode, you’ll hear;

• Chevese’s experience and observations of the myths, assumptions, stigmatisations and biases surrounding Binge Eating Disorder - see Chapter 4 of their book "Binge Eating Disorder; The Journey to Recovery and Beyond"
