Welcome back to the HealED Podcast! Today we are talking about the intersection of eating disorders and the  LGBTQIA2S+ Community. 
 
Joining me in this conversation is Quinn Haisley (they/she). Quinn Haisley  is a non-binary, queer, and neurodivergent eating disorder dietitian. After originally majoring in philosophy for their undergrad degree, Quinn chose to shift gears and returned to school to study nutrition, receiving an associate’s degree from LaGuardia Community college, and a MS from New York University where they also completed their dietetic internship. Quinn started working in the eating disorder field 3 years ago as a registered dietitian at the PHP, IOP, and outpatient level, before transitioning to her role as Outpatient Services Supervisor. They now work full-time at their own private practice, Practice Eros Nutrition, primarily focusing on working with LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent folx after seeing a need for more affirming treatment spaces run by clinicians with lived experience.

We are joined by a special guest, Cynthia Donovan, a registered dietitian and Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (HA) expert.

Welcome back to the HealED Podcast! I'm your host, Marie-Pier. Today we are talking about the role of family in eating disorder care.
 
Joining me in this conversation is Bryn Miller, a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Colorado, a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist and Supervisor and a Certified Advanced Therapist in Emotion-Focused Family Therapy.
 
 
 
In this episode, Bryn shares the story behind their framework, known as the response roadmap, and how it integrates elements of EFFT and her experience working with parents and caregivers. She delve into the first step of the framework, which involves recognizing and paying attention to our emotions. Bryn emphasizes the importance of prioritizing self-care for parents and caregivers in overcoming barriers when treating eating disorders.
Bryn acknowledges the complexity of eating disorders and the multiple factors that contribute to them. She highlights the importance of empowering parents to find the approach that feels right for them, while respecting the individual's control over their treatment and involvement of others. Even if the individual doesn't want their family involved, working with parents or caregivers can still provide support and understanding.
 
Encouraging reflection and repetition, Bryn shares intervention techniques to support families, such as therapeutic apology and EFFT interventions. She emphasizes the need for repair and reconnection if the lack of family involvement changes. Bryn stresses the importance of honouring both the person with the eating disorder and the parent or caregiver's experiences, finding a way for them to reconnect if possible and helpful.
 
In our conversation with Bryn, we also explore the importance of self-care and refueling for parents and caregivers. Bryn shares how parenting, dealing with eating disorder treatment, and recovery can be incredibly challenging to balance. She addresses common triggers and factors that contribute to burnout, emphasizing the need to recalibrate our sense of success and failure to avoid feeling ineffective.
