Do you feel awful when you are bloated? I don't mean just physically, but psychologically too?
Welcome back to What’s Eating You podcast where we explore the intricate relationship between food, body image, and mental health. I’m your host, Stephanie, a clinical psychologist with a passion for helping people heal from disordered eating and build a healthier relationship with their bodies.
Today, we’re tackling a question from Psychology Sunday: “How do I not let bloating trigger eating disorder behaviors due to poor body image? The physical becomes psychological.”
This is such an important topic because bloating often feels like the enemy during recovery. It can trigger intense feelings of discomfort and body dissatisfaction, leading to harmful behaviors like restriction, binging, or purging. So, let’s unpack this together.
This episode will
* completely reshape how you see bloating
* help to manage it psychologically
* at the end there is an exercise to help you with this so get a pen and paper
