Monday Dec 25, 2023
Monday Dec 25, 2023
I really wish I had more time to prepare for this topic before pitching. It's so interconnected and yet essential to understand the nuances. Hopefully, I can record a follow up conversation in the new year.

I love this workshop so much that I'm adding it to my podcast. In the interest of time, I removed the Q&A session at the end. The full recording, her presentation slides, and her handouts are in a folder on my G-Drive. You might have to download the audio file to listen depending on your phone/carrier.
If it doesn't work, you can find it all on the ACA website: https://adultchildren.org/awc-2021/

Conversation with Stacy & Mattie - Exploring Anorexia & Restricting Part 2
Saturday Jul 29, 2023
Saturday Jul 29, 2023
At long last, our part two on the topic of Anorexia & Restricting. In this episode we focus on Anorexics & Bulimics Anonymous' focus on the powerlessness over control.
I should clarify that ABA's first step is: We admitted we were powerless over our insane eating practices—that our lives had become unmanageable. However, if you read the literature, the focus becomes powerless over control.
For more information on the Anorexics & Bulimics Anonymous program, visit their website at ABA12Steps.org.
Also, I have a PDF of chapters 1-7 from their 12 Step book:
ABA Ch 1-3 and Ch 4-7.
You can find the book on their website or several online bookstores.

Saturday May 27, 2023
This morning our planned speaker had to cancel due to illness, so I stepped in. In a very jumbled manner I touched on 5 different 12 Step programs for food and how recovery can create a secure attachment.
Here is the YouTube video on Secure Attachment that I reference.
