Disconnection and Eating Disorders with Psychologist Harriet

On this week’s episode, I am delighted to be bringing back our lovely guest and one of our amazing Psychologist's here at BodyMatters, Harriet Iles. Harriet has completed a Bachelor of Laws and a Bachelor of Psychological Sciences at the University of Adelaide. Also having completed her Honours degree in Psychology at the University of Sydney. Harriet is now a Registered Psychologist practicing at BodyMatters Australasia as well as at Ramsay Clinic Northside, working within Eating Disorder treatment.

On this week’s episode we will be speaking about the topic of disconnection and Eating Disorders. As Eating Disorders have the tendency to consume large parts of our lives and disconnect us from important parts of ourselves. This can include disconnecting us from our physical bodies signals, our emotions, our values and our authentic selves. As a way to fight back against Eating Disorders, Harriet will explore ways of reuniting us with important parts of ourselves and with others. Using the power of vulnerability and self- compassion as a way to build up the self- confidence to take action towards reconnection. As a tool of understanding disconnection and reconnection. So on that note, please welcome our next special guest Harriet!
