On this week’s episode I am so happy and excited to be introducing our next special guest one of BodyMatters very own therapists Jennifer Puth. Jen is a provisional psychologist in her final year completing her Master of Clinical Psychology at the Australian College of Applied Psychology. Jen is passionate about working with individuals of all shapes, sizes, genders, ages, sexualities, abilities, and cultural backgrounds as she understands that each individual’s relationship with food or body is influenced by so many different life arenas. Jen is also a current associate member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS) and the Australian Society of Rehabilitation Counsellors (ASORC).

On this week’s episode we will be speaking about the topic of mindful eating as a really valuable tool for certain eating disorders such as Compulsive-Overeating, Binge-Eating Disorder, Bulimia Nervosa as well as a really good tool for the general population. There is also a preface at the end of the podcast for people who experience Anorexia Nervosa as reminder that mindful eating may not be suitable for all individuals during certain eating disorder treatments. However, can be implemented if it becomes favourable to do so. So, please as always enjoy this lovely guest and this soothing episode.
