-------------------
🔥 INTENSE. PERSONAL. UNFILTERED.
🎙️ My Secret Life with an Eating Disorder – A new episode that rips the mask off.
Hi, I'm Maureen Kritzer-Lange — psychoanalyst, speaker, and the Queen of Self-Esteem. But before that?
I was a teenage girl in Dayton, Ohio, quietly unraveling under the pressure to be perfect.For 15 years, I lived a double life: high-achieving on the outside, secretly consumed by shame, starvation, binging, and purging on the inside.
In this raw, emotional episode of my podcast, I finally tell the full story.
👉 The moment a diet center visit rewired my brain.👉 The journals that kept me alive when no one else noticed.👉 The article that changed everything.👉 The therapist who reparented me.👉 And the decision to become the therapist I never had.
This is not just about food.It’s about trauma, silence, perfectionism, identity, anxiety, shame, and finally — finding hope.
This is my truth. But it may be your story too.
📘 My book Don't Trust the Mirror is coming soon.
