Emily Troscianko

I am a coach, researcher, and writer.

As a coach, I work with individuals recovering from eating disorders, as well as with students, researchers, and faculty wanting to change their work/life/writing habits and/or explore new career possibilities.

As a researcher, I work with colleagues in psychology to investigate the psychological and health-related effects of reading narrative, including via empirical studies on responses to recovery memoirs; and I’m collaborating with a neurobiologist to explore the importance of behaviour-focused and agency-enhancing approaches to mental health treatment.

And as a writer, I blog about eating disorder recovery for Psychology Today; I’m co-author of a leading consciousness textbook with my mother, Sue Blackmore; I’m collaborating with a powerlifting referee and coach on a dialogical nonfiction book about the existential side of lifting weights; I’m working on a “novel of ideas” about religion, memetics, and womanhood called How To Live Without God and Children; and I’ve established a small imprint called Tamarisk Books that publishes "intelligent weird books for weird intelligent people”.
