Depression and anxiety are common partners with binge eating, overeating, restricting, and other forms of disordered eating. What do we make of this intersection? How can we have more influence over our relationship with food if we are also dealing with these conditions? In this episode, we discuss:
- Definitions of depression and anxiety (and spectrums of each)
- Stef & Sarah’s experiences of how depression feels
- Nervous system theory of depression: the freeze state
- Shame as part of the freeze/depression state
- The impact of depression and anxiety on the eating cycle
- Sarah asks Stef if she’d prefer her depression or anxiety?
- Strategies
- The “threshhold of influence”
