ep13: the unconscious bogeyman
Episode description
In this episode, I talk about the unconscious mind... how I used to see it when I was struggling with binge eating and bulimia, compared to how I see it now. I talk about what I've learned about the evolution of the psychology world's definition of the unconscious, and how the old model seemed to trickle down into the less-helpful recovery advice that I got.
