End the Food Fights with Your Child: Replace Control with Connection
<p class="MsoNormal">Parenting a child with an eating disorder is frightening, confusing, and exhausting. It leaves a parent feeling helpless, angry and too often filled with blame. In this show, Dr. Tom Wooldridge returns to Psych Up Live with his invaluable new book, End The Food Fight: Replacing Control with Connection to Help Your Child Heal from an Eating Disorder. This is not the discussion of a treatment manual or a substitute for professional care. It is a book that offers parents new ways of responding to a child with an eating disorder that foster healing in conjunction with professional care received. By giving parents tools, Dr. Wooldridge, invites them to understand that Eating Disorders are not made of behaviors alone. Eating disorders convey meaning in what is shown, withheld, repeated or denied. As you will hear, by supporting and expanding the parents' understanding and response to the eating disorder, Dr. Wooldridge makes it possible for parents to reduce their fear and enhance the healing process for all.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><img src= "//assets.libsyn.com/show/556821/2026_headshot_TW_21.jpg" alt="" width="446" height="333" /></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Tom Wooldridge,</strong> PsyD, ABPP, FIPA, CEDS-C</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Dr. Tom Wooldridge, PsyD, ABPP, FIPA, CEDS-C, is a tenured Professor and founding Dean, School of Psychology at Golden Gate University.

The Better Man: Keys to Consent and Satisfying Sexual Relating - Encore
<p><span data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody">In a post #MeToo era, many men want to take a step away from toxic masculinity, which perpetuates domination and aggression and consciously and unconsciously pressures men to behave in a certain way. A central theme of moving away from Toxic Masculinity is Sexual Consent- whether at a fraternity party or on the fifth date. The question of consent is one of concern for many men because they are uncertain about how to ask for it. They fear doing something wrong or wonder if it means giving up on impromptu much less gratifying sexual connection. This show provides the answers. In it, Dr. Eric Fitzmedrud draws upon his new and important book, The Better Man: A Guide to Stronger Relationships and Hotter Sex to address the issues around sexual connection without drawing upon toxic masculinity. Eric's goal is to help men navigate sexual relationships with respect by giving them the skills to be better lovers, partners and humans. Everyone who wants a relationship with mutually satisfying sexual connection will benefit from his expertise. Listen In.</span></p>
