Today, I have a guest on the show and I'm talking to Dr. Susan Simpson. Dr Susan is a clinical psychologist, Advanced Schema Therapy Trainer-Supervisor and Director of Schema Therapy Training Scotland. She has more than 25 years’ experience working with people with eating disorders and is particularly interested in approaches that look beyond symptoms to understand and support the whole person.

She specialises in working with people for whom first-line eating-disorder treatments have not been sufficient, as well as those who may benefit from a broader approach alongside established treatment. Her work explores the emotional needs, coping patterns, self-critical processes, trauma-related responses and experiences of disconnection that can sit beneath difficulties with food and body image.

Her approach is trauma-informed and neurodivergence-affirming. Susan provides training in Schema Therapy, including specialist training in Schema Therapy for eating disorders, across Europe and Australia. She is also a clinician-researcher involved in international studies examining the effectiveness of Schema Therapy for eating disorders and related difficulties.

She has published and presented widely on the application of Schema Therapy across a range of clinical populations. Susan is co-author of Schema Therapy for Eating Disorders and The Cambridge Guide to Schema Therapy.

Her latest book, Breaking Negative Eating Patterns and Remembering Your True Self: A Self-Help and Support Book, translates these ideas into an accessible and compassionate resource for people experiencing eating difficulties, as well as for families, supporters and clinicians.

In the episode today, Susan is going to talk about schema therapy and how it can really support clients to change. She will explore how it looks beyond symptoms and focuses on deeper healing. She will dive into the different aspects of the therapy, and how it really supports someone to step into their authentic, wise, integrated self, becoming much more connected with the heart, love and compassion rather than being stuck in survival and the old ways of coping.

I hope that you find it helpful.
