Is This 12-Step Group Harming Your Recovery‪?‬ Food Psych Podcast with Christy Harrison

We discuss a popular 12-step group that purports to help people recover from eating issues, and whether it actually causes more harm than good. Christy explains why so-called "overeating" is often driven by restriction and deprivation, and why using an abstinence model can make it worse.
