Presented by: Laura McLain, PsyD, BC-TMH - Clinical Telehealth Supervisor and Training Specialist, The Renfrew Center
Held Online
Decades of research have revealed a connection between Eating Disorders (EDs) and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). A review of diagnostic criteria and treatment interventions will lay the groundwork for the presentation. This will be followed by an exploration of the necessary shift in conceptualization from a trauma-informed lens and integrating evidence-based principles when treating these clients. With this framework in mind, co-regulation in psychotherapy will be presented, addressing how the client-therapist relationship can provide healing experiences for this population both in outpatient practices and treatment centers.
