Cancer Healing, Intuitive Eating & Stopping Self-Blame with Erika Bent

In this week’s episode, I’m joined by psychotherapist Erika Bent. Erika is the founder of Cypress Wellness Collective, a group practice that specializes in mental health and eating disorder recovery in the San Francisco Bay Area. She is also a certified eating disorder consultant and supervisor with the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals.

Together, we discuss:

• • Erika’s breast cancer diagnosis and how it impacted her disordered eating recovery
  • How she worked through the belief that her health is her fault
  • The ways cancer impacted her relationship with her body
  • How she advocated for her needs and forewent her naturopathic doctor’s advice
  • The all-or-nothing mindset around diet recommendations
  • The power of spiritual, mental and emotional factors in recovery
