  • Celebrating Wins
    Feb 21 2024

    Today’s episode is about ‘Celebrating wins.’ Those who have been in therapy or working through their own battles have heard the phrase ‘just think positively.’ And as problematic and invalidating as that statement can be to anyone working through their own mental health journey, there is some truth in that statement. However, how can one shift their thinking from the negative biases or from automatically believing the worst-case scenarios, to having a neutral or positive bias? Listen for more.

  • Exploring Body Image and Unraveling Eating Disorders: Treatment Options and Supportive Resources Part Two
    Sep 20 2023

    Hello listeners, and welcome to Breaking Down where we explain emotions, behaviors, and everything else that makes us human.

    Today’s episode is about body image and eating disorders. This is our part two in our two-part series about eating disorders and body image. In today’s episode we are sitting down with an expert in eating disorders and body acceptance to discuss resources for eating disorder treatment as well as provide us skills for working toward self-acceptance. If you haven’t listened to part one, I would highly encourage it as we will cover similar themes covered in that episode. Knowing this episode will be heavier in nature, I want to give a trigger warning regarding topics involving eating disorders, disordered eating, body image, and body dysmorphia. Feel free to skip this episode if this content is uncomfortable to listen to.

  • Exploring Body Image and Unraveling Eating Disorders: Treatment Options and Supportive Resources Part One
    Aug 11 2023

    Today’s episode is about body image and eating disorders. We will be breaking up this topic/episode into two parts. In today’s episode we will go over the diagnostic criteria of some of the eating disorders in the DSM, highlighting the stigma or misconceptions about body image and eating disorders, and exploring ways of how we can navigate these mentalities. Knowing this episode will be heavier in nature, I want to give a trigger warning regarding topics involving eating disorders, disordered eating, body image, sexual, verbal, emotional, or physical abuse, and body dysmorphia. Feel free to skip this episode if this content is uncomfortable to listen to.
