Part 2 of the conversation with Dr. Josie Geller, Associate Professor of UBC Department of Psychiatry, Division of Adult Psychiatry and Mental Health Services and the Director of Research of the Eating Disorders Program at St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver.
Dan and Dr. Geller explore the significance of self-compassion in the context of eating disorders, highlighting the barriers individuals face in practicing self-compassion and the role of validation in overcoming these barriers. Then, they discuss the importance of collaborative care over directive care in treatment settings and critiques the current DSM-5 criteria for eating disorders, advocating for a more inclusive approach that considers life impairment rather than strict diagnostic criteria.
