This week we are talking all things neurodivergence & eating disorder recovery with Dr. Marianne Miller.

Dr. Marianne has been in the mental health field for 27 years and has specialized in eating disorders for the last 12 years. She was a full-time academic for 12 years and had a part-time eating disorder practice for much of that time until she left the university and went into private practice full-time in 2018. Dr. Marianne loves working with eating disorders as a therapist and a coach. She takes a non-diet, feminist approach that helps people of all genders live empowered, authentic lives. She embraces the Health at Every Size model, and is neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ affirming. 

We talked to Dr. Marianne about:

• How eating disorders &  disordered eating behavior can be a coping mechanism for neurodivergent folks who struggle with feeling out of place  in a society that emphasizes conformity and suppresses emotional expression.
• The complexities of eating disorder treatment for neurodivergent individuals & the limitations of standardized treatments, like cognitive behavioral therapy.
• What neurodivergent-affirming care looks like & how we can create more inclusive and effective therapeutic environments. 
• And so much more!
