  • Chris is one of the most insightful professionals in world of recovery

    I am writing this review to thank Chris for his incredible pro bono work for those that are struggling. Chris's work in the field is by far the most professional and efficient way to recovery I have witnessed. After receiving both impatiant and outpatiant treatment many times over the last couple of decades, I found his principles to be the best aprouch to true full recovery. As we all need to find our own road, his was the the right one for me. Highly recommend him!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

371: Full Recovery After Decades with an Eating Disorder with Pamela St Clair
Q: What were the pivotal shifts that helped Pamela move toward recovery?
Key shifts included recognizing that change had to come from thoughts and beliefs rather than solely changing the body, embracing help from professionals, building a support network, and committing to a structured recovery plan that addressed both behaviors and underlying identity.
371: Full Recovery After Decades with an Eating Disorder with Pamela St Clair
Q: How did Pamela's early experiences with food and family influence her recovery later in life?
Pamela explains that early family messages about dieting and body image, especially around her mother and father, planted a sense that weight and appearance were central to worth. These patterns contributed to dieting, restriction, and bulimic behaviors that emerged in adolescence and persisted for decades until she sought a comprehensive recovery approach.
Rebroadcast: Co-Morbidity With Eating Disorders and ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) with Dr. Brad Smith
Q: Is ERP really different from other therapies the patient may have tried?
Yes, ERP emphasizes active exposure with response prevention and a focus on observable anxiety curves, which can feel very different from traditional talk therapies; it involves concrete behavioral experiments and a close collaboration among providers to track progress.
Rebroadcast: Co-Morbidity With Eating Disorders and ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) with Dr. Brad Smith
Q: What is the role of the family or caregivers in ERP-based treatment?
Families are invited to learn the ERP principles so they can coach and support the patient at home, reinforcing the gradual exposure steps and helping manage distress without interfering with the exposure process.
Rebroadcast: Co-Morbidity With Eating Disorders and ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) with Dr. Brad Smith
Q: How do you tailor ERP for someone with co-occurring OCD or anxiety?
ERP is adapted by focusing on the eating-disorder-related behaviors first while using exposure-based CBT, ACT, and DBT strategies for OCD/anxiety, ensuring nutrition and medical stabilization are in place, and employing a team approach to personalize pacing and targets.
