Deep Honest Conversations with Therapists
I’ve known Jodie for years, and it is an honor to witness her sharing her wisdom on this podcast. She invites therapists who are doing the work to share from the soul. This podcast is meaningful for therapists, current clients of therapy, and people considering therapy. It offers meaningful topics on intersection of soul and mental health.
Laura Hauben, Psy.D.
After seeing Lisa Ferentz speak at the Psychotherapy Networker Conference, I was excited to learn that she treated eating disorders in addition to trauma, the two areas of focus in my psychotherapy practice. I would like to reassure you both that there are many ED specialists who are integrating an understanding of trauma in their treatment of ED’s. I don’t know any providers who primarily use the type of CBT you describe in this podcast. I was surprised to see how diminishing you both are of the ED community. I also want to mention that many of the adults I treat have ED and trauma histories, but most of the adolescents I see have not experienced trauma in the home. These children may be using the ED behaviors to cope with anxiety about many of the things in our world or just for coping with the challenges of adolescence. Many parents make the mistake of letting a child diet and the teen quickly falls into the ED thinking and the physiological effects of starvation. Just because we acknowledge that many people have a genetic predisposition to developing an ED, doesn’t mean we do not consider the impact of trauma and the use of ED as a way of tolerating difficult feelings. I’m surprised by the rigidity of your judgments. As clinicians who discourage shaming, you include quite a bit of shaming criticism of ED providers and parents of children with eating disorders.
