Many times parents are scared and frustrated that their attempts to “fix” the problem are not working or they are feeling guilt and shame for not doing something sooner. I work with families to help identify the ways that they can support their loved one and challenge their own beliefs in the process. Families can be a foundation for their loved ones navigating the challenging path towards healing. In our family sessions, I work to foster an environment of open communication, empathy, and non-judgment, to help families create a safe space where those struggling with eating disorders can express their emotions and concerns without fear of rejection. Education about the disorder, its triggers, and coping mechanisms is a vital component that families can engage in, helping them to better comprehend the complexities of the journey. Collaborative involvement in treatment, through family therapy sessions reinforces a sense of unity and shared responsibility in the recovery process. Families play a pivotal role in inspiring hope, fostering resilience, and nurturing the belief that recovery is attainable.
