Episode Synopsis

This episode I discuss how trauma and eating disorders are intertwined in more ways than one. Trauma can exist as a risk factor for developing an eating disorder (ED), occurs during the suffering of one with an ED, and triggers (an indicator of trauma) traverse the junction between suffering and recovery. Although trauma presents itself in different ways with various eating disorders and with survivors, research surrounding this topic reveals interesting insights as to why comorbidity between EDs and trauma exists.
