This is self-work and I'm Dr. Margaret Rutherford.

At self-work we'll discuss psychological and emotional issues common in today's world

and what to do about them.

I'm Dr. Margaret and self-work is a podcast dedicated to you taking just a few minutes today for your own self-work.

Hello and welcome to self-work. I'm Dr. Margaret Rutherford. I'm a clinical psychologist. I live in Fable,

Arkansas. I've been doing therapy here for about 26 years now. And a couple of years ago,

I decided to extend the walls of my practice so that I could reach

out to many of you who've already been interested in psychological and emotional issues may

actually already be in therapy. And it might be helpful to hear another therapist's perspective on issues.

Also, for those of you looking for information because you've just been diagnosed with depression

or bipolar disorder or anxiety or maybe you're having a

relationship problem that you just can't quite understand and fix. And then there's that

third group. Those of you who might listen to a podcast, but

would really never darken the door of a therapist. I wanted to give you some food for

thought as well. Or perhaps you're not in any of those groups but

welcome to self-work. Today we're going to be talking about disorders that may

affect your kid's body image so today's an episode focused on parenting and of course when

you're talking about body image in our culture we're also talking about

self-esteem this is for both moms and dads.

The research out there is reminding all of us that this can be a serious problem for our children.

There are three major disorders that can give lots of confusing messages.

Anorexia, what's called orthorexia, and exercise addiction.
