I absolutely love your podcast! I use my time with you, Rachelle, to really look inside and try to understand me. I have gotten more from this podcast than any visit with the therapists I have seen over the years. Thank you for all of it!! Don’t ever stop! - Lauren
Rachelle brings deep eating disorder healing not only to her clients but also to her listeners. Her compassion and passion to help people overcome AND understand disordered eating. Her focus on resilience in body image is needed especially in these times when uncertainty can activate negative body image thoughts. A must-listen!
I love the emphasis on learning, improved awareness of one’s unique issues/challenges and the nature of long term recovery.
I’ve been battling an ED for almost 20 years and have only recently accessed tools to help me recover. This podcast is so clear and engaging and I always come away with great nuggets to consider. Rachelle is genuine and has a great presence on her episodes, they flow well and her information is on point and delivered well. Thanks for putting out great content! Love love
Just listened to the Judy Krasna episode. I will be recommending this episode to all parents of kids with an ED
