In Part 2 of our discussion, Jess Sprengle, LPC, discusses the importance – and quite frankly vitalness – of improving the education about eating disorders for all providers across the mental health and medical professions. Jess shares that given the prevalence of eating disorders among all identities, the high mortality rate, and deeply rooted stigma around food, body, and weight, the need for increased awareness and understanding on how to assess for and treat eating disorders is imperative so that those most marginalized can find a path towards recovery. Finally, our guest reflects on what she would say to someone in search of recovery. Enjoy!
