17 - Social Media & Eating Disorders

Paved with Gold

Trigger warning: this episode contains descriptions and light discussions of pro-ana websites and communities.
On this episode of Paved with Gold we discuss social media at LENGTH (sorry in advance), the effects it has on body image and eating disorders in general as well as the role recovery accounts play in eating disorder recovery. Strap yourselves in - it's a wild wild west.
