⚠️ Beware of Mental Restriction

In this episode, I talk to financial therapist, Rachel Duncan. We chat about:

• How the binge/ restrict cycle manifests with both money and food
• The elements of shame and secrecy when it comes to food and money stuff
• Social media’s impact on promoting disordered eating and compulsive spending
• The very human needs underneath the desire to diet and the desire to spend money on impulsive purchases
• How pleasure plays a role in reducing compulsive spending and reducing binge eating 
• The question of food addiction vs. shopping addiction– are they “real” addictions? How do they differ and how are they similar?”
