In this episode, I am joined by Jamie (OJ) Bushell (they/them/theirs) and Jamie Dannenberg, MS, RDN, LDN (she/they), co-creators of thirdwheelED, a social media advocacy platform that strives to increase the visibility of how eating disorders and other mental illnesses disproportionately impact LGBTQIA+ communities as well as raise awareness of nontraditional caregivers who support folks in ED recovery. In addition, thirdwheelED offers clinical trainings on how to cultivate affirming eating disorder treatment for LGBTQIA+ communities, as well as editorial services for eating disorder and mental health professionals.

Topics Discussed:

• How a lack of queer recovery stories can heighten and further isolate people.

• The harm caused when treatment providers see clients through a strictly heterosexual lens.

• The advances that individual practitioners are making towards care in the LGBTQIA+ community versus the stagnation of large institutions in supporting the same community.

• How a lack of resources and direction for caregivers is detrimental for both the client and caregiver.

• The ways in which gender dysphoria may increase in the recovery process and how connection to one's values can aid in these challenges.

• How gender affirming options can only be pursued in those in a “healthy body,” not an eating disordered body.

• Overcoming system shortcomings (i.e. requiring permission for gender affirming procedures) and contradictions (i.e. only certain bodies can receive gender affirming procedures) to develop a sense of autonomy in the recovery process.

About thirdwheelED:

ThirdwheelED offers a queer lens of ED recovery and an honest, safe space of inspiration and healing for those recovering from an ED and their supporters. ThirdwheelED was started as a blog by Jamie (OJ) Bushell and Jamie Dannenberg, MS, RDN, LDN in 2015. They started documenting and sharing their experience navigating the mental health and eating disorder systems as a queer person trying to access treatment and as a non-traditional caregiver supporting their loved one getting help for their eating disorder for the first time. By sharing their story, through social media, they hoped to find community and offer an often underrepresented story of recovery. They continue to use their platform to advocate for inclusive and affirming research, prevention, and treatment of eating disorders in LGBTQIA+ communities. They offer editorial services for eating disorder and mental health clinicians along with trainings on how to cultivate affirming eating disorder treatment for LGBTQIA+ communities.

OJ (they/them) is in recovery from an eating disorder and co-occurring mental health conditions. OJ writes about the intersectionality of eating disorders, trauma, sexuality, and gender identity/expression. OJ uses their experience of seeking treatment for their eating disorder as person who is queer to help raise awareness of the need for culturally responsive recovery support services for queer communities.

Jamie (she/they) is an eating disorder dietitian at Metrowest Nutrition in the Boston area. Her work is informed by social justice, fat liberation, Health at Every Size®, anti-diet, and LGBTQIA+ affirming frameworks. Through this lens, she supports her clients in disengaging from diet culture and leaning into their own innate body wisdom to make food and movement choices that affirm their values system, gender, and right to self-determination.

In this episode, I am joined by world renowned, highly sought-after eating disorder clinician, author, and international speaker, Carolyn Costin, MA, MeD, LMFT, CEDS, FAED. Recovered from anorexia herself, Carolyn was first to publicly take the position that people with eating disorders can become fully recovered. Carolyn’s extensive contributions to the field include six books, the most popular being, “8 Keys to Recovery From an Eating Disorder.” Carolyn launched The Carolyn Costin Institute in 2016 where she offers training and certification of eating disorder coaches. Carolyn is an active, passionate, inspiring force in the eating disorder field.

Topics Discussed:

• The different ways in which a recovery coach can help clients who are struggling in “real time”

• Reentering the world post-COVID-19 and challenging new rituals learned in the pandemic

• Acceptance versus resistance theory as a way to tolerate negative feelings and thoughts and align one’s behaviors with their values

About Carolyn Costin:

Carolyn Costin is a world renowned, highly sought-after eating disorder clinician, author, and international speaker.

Recovered from anorexia in her twenties, as a young therapist Carolyn recognized her calling after successfully treating her first eating disorder client.

Carolyn was first to publicly take the position that people with eating disorders can become fully recovered.

After 15 years in private practice and running hospital programs, Carolyn was determined to improve the relapse rate and recognized a gap in the eating disorder field. She opened Monte Nido, the first residential facility in a home setting, surrounded by nature, where standard treatment was combined with meditation and yoga and clients were “retrained” to shop for, prepare and cook food.

Carolyn’s contributions to the field are extensive. She has written six books, the most popular being, “8 Keys to Recovery From an Eating Disorder.” Carolyn’s service in every major eating disorder organization, three decades of training professionals worldwide, free study groups and the outstanding success of Monte Nido all spurred Carolyn to international acclaim.

In 2016, Carolyn sold Monte Nido, subsequently left and created The Carolyn Costin Institute. The Institute’s main function is the training and certification of eating disorder coaches. Additionally the Institute offers continuing education for clinicians, educational support for families of those with eating disorders, and mentor training for organizations Carolyn continues to also offer consultations to clients and clinicians and continues to speak at national and international conferences.

Carolyn is an active, passionate, inspiring force in the eating disorder field.
