Recovery Talk

Chew & Spit (CHSP)

In this episode, I discuss chewing and spitting (CHSP): what it is, why people with eating disorders may engage in this behaviour, and why it can be so harmful both mentally and physically.

Topics covered include:

  • What CHSP is and the underlying drivers of the behaviour

  • The CHSP “habit loop” and how it becomes entrenched

  • Metabolic and dental consequences

  • Mental, emotional, and social impacts

  • Strategies for recovery and breaking the cycle
