Exploring the connection between eating disorders and attachment

Understanding the relationship between eating disorders and attachment patterns is crucial for effective treatment. Research demonstrates a correlation between eating disorders and insecure attachment styles.

In this comprehensive training, clinicians will gain a deep understanding of attachment theory and its practical application in the treatment of eating disorders. Through interactive discussions and case studies, participants will:

  • Develop a thorough knowledge of attachment theory and styles
  • Gain insights into eating disorders
  • Learn attachment-focused therapy tools for treating eating disorders
  • Explore the impact of trauma on attachment and eating disorders

Participants will leave with enhanced skills to provide attachment-informed care for clients struggling with disordered eating.
