Description

This week I get totally ranty with Ashlee Bennett, AKA The Fat Therapist. Why aren't we talking about body size, weight bias, and how all of this impacts us in therapy? This is such an important topic and yet we seem to have no words. In this unmissable episode, we talk all about how body size really is A THING. We get into why it's important to check your privilege if you're a thin therapist, how therapists and health professionals working with people in larger bodies seriously need to unpack their own weight bias before working to help others. We also talk about how clients in larger bodies can approach this topic in an empowering and therapeutic way. Let's use therapy to bust diet culture wide open - not to support it!

Welcome to the All Fired Up podcast, with your host Louise Adams!  Louise is by nature a mild mannered clinical psychologist, but her alter ego – a FIERCE and fearless anti-diet crusader – is taking over! Louise specialises in helping people recover from disordered eating, and she’s COMPLETELY OVER trying to help people when the culture we live in is utterly sick, toxic, and screwed up when it comes to food, exercise, health, and body size.  Louise cannot for a second longer take the rampant injustice of a society obsessed with thinness and health. She can’t STAND how fat people are being treated like second class citizens. She is LIVID about the way weight science is being sold to make a buck off human misery.  And she’s SO OVER the diet bulls**t that she’s shelved her own introversion and started a podcast!  So welcome to All Fired Up!, where Louise delves deeply into diet culture and blows it the hell up! Each week we’ll meet brave and fascinating anti-diet warriors who are also fighting for equality, justice, and freedom. Join us, and get All Fired Up! about building a better world!
