Episode 180: Understanding ADHD, Neurodivergence, and Toxic Striving in Eating Disorder Recovery (with Dr. Paula Freedman-Diamond)
Kathryn is joined by Dr. Paula Freedman-Diamond, PsyD, to talk about the intersection between eating disorders and ADHD, and how these challenges often overlap. Dr. Paula explains how people with ADHD/neurodivergence may struggle to recognize hunger and fullness cues and offers practical tips for making recovery work. She encourages self-acceptance and working with your unique brain, not against it. Dr. Paula also discusses the topic of perfectionism and toxic striving in our culture, and how that may uniquely impact people with ADHD/neurodivergence and fuel disordered eating.
