In this episode of the Hope + Help Podcast, Christine Chappell interviews David & Krista Dunham about their book, Table for Two: Biblical Counsel for Eating Disorders. Some of the questions addressed in this interview are:

• What is it like to battle against an eating disorder?

• What are some common challenges a caregiver faces when trying to help someone with an eating disorder?

• In what ways can both the sufferer and the caregiver be tempted to self-sufficiency when battling against an eating disorder? How can this mentality be detrimental, or even dangerous?

• What are some of the physical consequences of an eating disorder that the sufferer and caregiver may be aware of?

• What is "compassion fatigue" and what can caregivers do to prevent it?

• How can you tell if someone with an eating disorder is ready to seek help? What can caregivers do if the person they love denies they have a problem?
