In this episode, I talk to a parent whose child has an eating disorder, and she is worried all the time.

In this episode, I talk to a parent whose child has an eating disorder, and they suspect the care they’re getting is inadequate.

In this episode, I respond to a parent who is burned out after two years of helping her child through an eating disorder. She wants to do better, but needs help. I address this through the analogy of the oxygen masks on an airplane. Worldwide, airplanes carry a very specific message for mothers: put your own mask on before assisting your child with theirs. I talk through what burnout is, why we get it, and what we can do to feel better.   If you want help caring for a child who has an eating disorder, schedule a consultation here: Website Read the full transcript/article associated ..read more

In this episode, I respond to a parent who is wondering if they can insist their daughter change treatment teams. The daughter is over 18, so while the parent doesn’t have a lot of opportunities to control treatment, since they are paying for it, they could insist on a change. I talk through some of the important things to think about, and the difference between using parental control and influence to change the course of a disorder.   If you want help dealing with eating disorder treatment, schedule a consultation here: Website Read the full transcript/article associated with this ..read more

In this episode, I respond to a parent who is wondering how he can stop his son from purging. I review why people purge, and how understanding the urge to purge can help parents respond rather than react. Then I talk about how you can replace the purge with emotional comfort and care. This is a skill parents can learn and practice, and often takes time and vulnerability, since it’s usually awkward.  If you want help dealing with eating disorder treatment, schedule a consultation here: Website Read the full transcript/article associated with this episode here: Article Here’s the guid ..read more

In this episode, I respond to a parent who is wondering why treatment providers tell her not to talk about weight with a child who has underweight anorexia. In my experience most parents have been given this directive, but they haven’t been told why this is important or what to do instead. I talk through both the why and what else so you can make a difference.   If you want help dealing with eating disorder treatment, schedule a consultation here: Website Read the full transcript/article associated with this episode here: Article Here’s the cheat sheet for emotional regulation ..read more
