With Monica Freudenreich","description":"In this episode of The Body Grievers\u00ae Club, Bri joins therapist\/social worker Monica Freudenreich to discuss eating disorders versus disordered eating, emphasizing that most people with eating disorders often go unrecognized or dismissed by providers who lack specialized training and may be influenced by diet culture trends. They describe how diagnostic labels can shift, how insurance and treatment systems affect care, and why focusing on functioning and quality of life matters more than whether someone meets a specific DSM threshold. They critique applying abstinence-based addiction models to food, highlight how \u201chealth\u201d is often reduced to weight, and explore the roles of rest, connection, joy, and reducing shame in healing. They also preview an upcoming master class for providers and individuals on assessment, blind spots, body image, and practical strategies.  04:18 Recognizing Disordered Eating 06:58 Monica\u2019s ED Work Journey 09:55 Bri\u2019s ED Center Reality 12:41 Provider Dissonance Dieting 18:57 Labels Don\u2019t Matter 25:42 Healing Inside Diet Culture 35:36 Rest as Radical Health 37:25 Rethinking Addiction and Connection 38:54 Comfort Coping Without Shame 47:55 Rejecting Diet Culture 50:18 About the Masterclass &amp;nbsp; EPISODE RESOURCES: Join our upcoming masterclass: Eating Disorder vs. Disordered Eating Johann Hari: Everything you think you know about addiction is wrong https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PY9DcIMGxMs&amp;nbsp; Episode 37: Rest Feels Unsafe Get on the waitlist for Body Image Bootcamp for providers at https:\/\/bodyimagewithbri.mykajabi.com\/bootcamp-waitlist-2025&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; WANT MORE OF MONICA FREUDENREICH? https:\/\/www.monicafreudenreich.com\/&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; WANT MORE OF BRI? *Instagram: @bodyimagewithbri\u2028 *Website: https:\/\/bodyimagewithbri.com\/ *Bri\u2019s Free Resource: 7-Step Guide to Shift Body Grief to Radical Body Acceptance https:\/\/www.bodyimagewithbri.com\/seven-steps ","author_name":"The Body Grievers\u00ae Club","author_url":"https:\/\/www.bodyimagewithbri.com","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/41484420\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/202461915"}
