In this conversation, Damo and Tash from Bariatric Support Australia engage with Dr. Rachel Gold, a clinical psychologist specializing in eating disorders and body image. They discuss the importance of mindset in relation to body image, the impact of weight stigma, and the challenges faced by individuals post-bariatric surgery, including body dysmorphia and disordered eating. The conversation emphasizes the need for self-compassion, understanding neurodivergence, and creating supportive environments for those undergoing weight loss journeys. Dr. Gold also shares resources aimed at helping individuals navigate their relationships with food and their bodies.
