Скачать или смотреть Chronic Illness & Eating Disorders: How to Heal Body Image, Grief, and Recovery | Tamie Gangloff

In this episode, I sit down with Tamie Gangloff—marriage and family therapist, professor, advocate, and author of Chronic Illness and Eating Disorders: Assessment, Clinical Skills, and Lived Experiences—to explore the often-overlooked intersection between chronic illness, eating disorders, and recovery.

Here’s what we cover in the episode:

• Tamie’s personal journey through scoliosis, chronic pain, substance use, and eating disorder recovery

• Why chronic illness is often “chronic grief” and how it impacts body image and identity

• Spoon Theory as a powerful framework for understanding energy, capacity, and recovery

• The importance of nourishment in managing illness, pain, and sustainable healing

• How to reframe exercise into “neutral movement” rather than punishment or performance

• The role of grief in recovery and why it must be felt, witnessed, and integrated

• Redefining strength—not as pushing through, but as compassionately listening to your body’s limits

Tamie blends personal experience, clinical insight, and compassionate storytelling to remind us that recovery is possible—even with chronic illness. This conversation offers hope, language, and practical tools for anyone navigating the challenges of body, health, and healing.
