How Fables Can Address Eating Disorders With Anita Johnston, Ph.D.

On Your Mind

Stories convey far more levels of depth and richness than simply discussing things at a logical or literal level. Anita Johnston, Ph.D. therefore uses folktales, myths, and fables to help people deal with various eating disorders. She joins Timothy J. Hayes, Psy.D to present her book, “Eating in the Light of the Moon,” which explores the deeper and non-physical reasons for disordered eating through storytelling. Dr. Anita explains how stories are key to healing and transformation, which touches readers at mental, emotional, and imaginative levels. She also explains how to get rid of judgment when providing support to those struggling with eating disorders, and how to provide them instead with compassion and understanding.
