In this episode of The Inner Space Project podcast, Dr. Patti Ashley welcomes Dr. Anita Johnston, a clinical psychologist, eating disorder specialist, and author of the bestselling book Eating in the Light of the Moon. Together, they dive into the complexities of disordered eating and recovery, exploring the tension between our innate drives for connection and authenticity. Dr. Johnston shares her profound insights on how early life patterns influence our relationships with food and body image, often creating a gap filled by disordered behaviors.

Listeners will learn about the transformative power of storytelling and metaphor in healing, as well as the vital balance between the masculine (logical, goal-oriented) and feminine (emotional, intuitive) principles in recovery. Dr. Johnston emphasizes that complete recovery is possible, offering tools like curiosity to navigate inner struggles and reclaim authenticity while connecting with others.

This episode also introduces the wealth of resources available through Dr. Johnston’s Light of the Moon Cafe, including free gifts, self-study courses, and interactive workshops. A must-listen for anyone seeking to better understand the intersection of psychology, eating disorders, and personal growth.
