BODY POSITIVITY IN COUNSELING: WORKING WITH TEENS WITH EATING DISORDERS
In this episode of The Thoughtful Counselor Podcast, Dr. Megan Speciale interviews Emily Behrs, AMFT, and Kaila Hattis, LMFT, about using a body-positive framework for working with teens who struggle with negative body image, disordered eating and nutrition, and/or unhealthy exercise patterns. The conversation also reflects the kind of supportive, accessible care that can be explored through online therapy.
Emily and Kaila share strategies about how to incorporate body image and nutrition into the intake and assessment process, broach topics related to self-esteem and body image with teen clients, and how to navigate privacy and confidentiality concerns with incorporating families into treatment. The guests also discuss the role of social media, COVID-19, and online learning on self-image, diet and nutrition, and mental health.
