  • 4 Common Mistakes Loved Ones Make in Supporting Someone Struggling with an Eating Disorder

    4 common mistakes loved ones make in supporting someone struggling with an eating disorder. I make reference to the New Maudsley Animal Model which uses animal metaphors to explain ways of supporting helpfully.

    Animals to avoid: the rhino (overly directive); kangaroo and joey (over-caring); jellyfish (anxious) and ostrich (avoiding). Animals to aim to be: the dolphin (listening, empathetic, alongside) and the St.Bernard dog (calm and present).

    Helpful book:- Skills Based Caring for a Loved One with an Eating Disorder (The New Maudsley Method) by Janet Treasure and colleagues.

    Time slots

    1.12 The rhino

    2.09 The kangaroo and joey

    3.15 The jellyfish

    4.13 The ostrich

    11. Proven Strategies to Break Free from Yo Yo Diets with Shane Walsh

      Today, I have a guest on the show and I'm talking to Shane Walsh.  Shane is an author, coach/nutritionist/weight-loss expert and passionate advocate for helping people break free from the cycle of dieting.

      With 9 years of experience working with people who have struggled with losing weight, regaining it, and repeatedly starting over, Shane has seen first-hand that lasting change requires more than another diet or a stricter set of rules.

      In Shane's upcoming book: BREAK FREE – 7 Proven Strategies to End Yo-Yo Dieting, he brings together practical, evidence-informed strategies designed to help readers understand why traditional dieting often fails and, more importantly, how to create a healthier and more sustainable relationship with food, weight and lifestyle.

      The book is rooted in a simple belief: you don’t need to spend the rest of your life dieting to achieve lasting change. Through his work, Shane continues to help people move away from all-or-nothing thinking and towards a more realistic, sustainable approach to health and wellbeing.

      In this episode, Shane is going to talk all about why diets don't work sustainably, he'll help you break up with the weighing scales and create a compassionate mindset that truly brings about transformative change with food and body. So much value packed in this episode. I hope that you enjoy it.
