In this episode, Karin welcomes Heather Hower, MSW, LICSW, ACSW, QCSW, Faculty Research Associate at Brown University School of Public Health and Faculty Associate at the University of California San Diego School (UCSD) of Medicine Eating Disorders Center for Treatment and Research to the show. Heather is a grant reviewer, faculty member, conference presenter and proposal reviewer, manuscript reviewer, research assistant, blog writer, and advocate. Heather’s current research interests include capitalizing on eating disorder traits as strengths, promoting temperament-based treatments, and defining recovery.

Join Karin and Heather for a discussion on mental health/sanity as a motivation to recover, the void that exists between intrusive thoughts and anxious thoughts, the role of nature vs. nurture in eating disorder development, “joyful movement” for body connection, how assuming that recovery is linear is a set-up for failure, and much more!
