Listen Later

Dr. Anita Johnston, Ph.D., CEDS is a clinical psychologist and certified eating disorder specialist and supervisor, working in the field of women's issues and eating disorders for over 35 years.

She is the author of the best-selling book, Eating in the Light of the Moon and co-creator of The Light of the Moon Cafe.

In keeping with the theme of this season, we speak at length about the power that comes from connecting with your authentic self. This episode is a must-listen and one that I was absolutely captivated by. I left it feeling so empowered and inspired, which I hope you will too after listening.

We speak about:

  • How Anita got into this line of work

  • What lies beneath disordered eating

  • The role that feminine energy plays in a healthy relationship with food

  • How food can distract us from the true issues at play

  • The role of authenticity in healing disordered eating

  • The difference between belonging and fitting in

  • How to begin reconnecting with your authentic self

  • The power of metaphor and storytelling in recovery from disordered eating

  • The connection between interoception and authenticity

  • The difference between physical and emotional hunger

  • How you can use food to identify unmet emotional needs

  • How to nurture your imagination as your superpower

  • Using your dreams and intuition to support recovery

  • The power that comes from connecting with your authentic self
