Meet Lily Thrope, Licensed Clinical Social Worker
We often hear about dopamine as the brain’s “feel-good” chemical. But what exactly does that mean, and how does it affect behaviors like eating or seeking pleasure in other ways? For many people, understanding dopamine can shine a light on why we turn to certain habits, and how we might create healthier, more balanced sources of joy in our lives.
Anxiety and depression can feel overwhelming, affecting not just your mind but your body, relationships, and overall quality of life. While traditional therapy and medication are effective for many people, a holistic approach can complement treatment by addressing the whole person, mind, body, and lifestyle.
Lily was featured on Amy Goeckel’s podcast, The Eating Disorder Diaries Podcast:
Amy opens up about her own recent struggles with doomscrolling (especially since becoming pregnant) and how the constant stream of anxiety-inducing content has impacted her mental health and recovery. From pregnancy fears to subtle body comparison traps, she reflects on how quickly social media can shift from entertaining to harmful.
To help unpack all of this, Amy is joined by Lily Thrope, a therapist and founder of Thrope Therapy who specializes in eating disorders, body image, and intuitive eating.
