In this week's episode, Han is joined by Richard Palmer. Richard is an eating disorder therapist and supervisor, and the Founder of The Eating Disorder Recovery Clinic. Richard is dedicated to improving the treatment of eating disorders so that more sufferers can reclaim their lives, and does this through his therapy work within his clinic, and eating disorder training. This week, we discuss:

  • Richard's personal experience of disordered eating and supporting loved ones, and how this led to him focusing on eating disorders in his psychotherapy training.

  • The development of the Eating Disorder Recovery Clinic and their unique perspective on treating eating disorders.

  • The importance of treating both the eating disorder symptoms and the underlying trauma, difficulties and issues.

  • The difficulty of eating disorder training, including the logistics of therapy sessions, burnout, and resources available for trainees.

  • The elements of Richard's work that keep him within his role as an eating disorder therapist and the reward he feels from supporting clients.
