I wish this was something where, hey, come to session times and you're good, but it really does require a behavioral treatment intervention, and it requires treatment that is collaborative.
What if the key to helping your teenager recover from an eating disorder lies within your own family? In this episode of The Real Common Treatable Podcast, Clint Mally sits down with Alicia Ayvas, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Eating Disorder Specialist, to discuss the transformative power of family-based therapy. Alicia brings her extensive experience and deep understanding of the complexities surrounding adolescent eating disorders to the table.
She highlights how trauma, genetics, and even the fear of weight gain can trigger these conditions. But it’s not all doom and gloom; Alicia emphasizes the critical role that proper nutrition and family involvement play in the recovery process. She breaks down the phases of family-based therapy, offering a roadmap for families navigating this challenging journey. Beyond therapy, Alicia also touches on other treatment options and the strong connection between eating disorders and other mental health issues.
This episode is a treasure trove of practical advice and emotional support for anyone grappling with eating disorders or standing by a loved one who is. It’s a candid, compassionate conversation that sheds light on the path to recovery, reminding us that we’re not alone in this fight.
