Integrating Mind, Body and Dialectical Behavior Therapy
for Eating Disorder Treatment
Presented by
Dr. Amy Costa, PsyD, LMFT, CEDS
This presentation looks at the impact of trauma on the brain and how the use of DBT treatment can be effective when working with eating disorder clients. It is imperative to understand how trauma and stress affects the brain and the body. By looking at this impact we can see how trauma responses correlate directly with DBT treatment and philosophy. Eating Disorder (ED) treatment often focuses on the behaviors related to food specifically. This presentation will open the door to working on the underlying issues while maintaining a behavioral treatment focus.
At the end of this presentation, participants will be able to:
- Explain how the body responds to trauma and how this develops into eating disorders.
- Name the 4 core concepts of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and its implications in ED treatment.
- Identify how the brain, body, and DBT work together to decrease symptoms of ED.
