Trauma-Informed Eating Disorder Treatment Training
Control, Shame & Survival: A Trauma-Informed Lens to Eating Disorder Treatment
Eating disorders are rarely just about food. They are deeply rooted in trauma, attachment wounds, and chronic stress, and they often show up in caseloads that were never labeled as eating disorder work.
