EMDR Therapy & Eating Disorders

Go With That Magazine Fall 2023

According to the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders (ANAD), eating disorders affect at least 9 percent of the population worldwide. Eating disorders are among the deadliest mental illnesses, second only to opioid overdose. The statistics for BIPOC and LGBTQA+ populations are more dismal, mainly because of missed opportunities by their doctors. With so many people suffering, how can EMDR therapists help? What do you need to know so you do not miss the signs, and what can you do to help heal? This issue’s authors, who focus their EMDR therapy practices on helping clients or patients with disordered eating, share what they know.
