For our purpose, like for first stage of treatment, we focus on helping the adolescent to gain weight, and the main reason for that is to bring the adolescent out of that phase so he or she can engage in treatment.
What happens when teenagers face the dual challenge of addiction and eating disorders? In this episode of 'Mindful Recovery', Robert Cox sits down with Dr. Nazanin Moali, a specialist in adolescent addiction from LA. Dr. Moali's client-centered approach and belief in the healing power of family support shine through as they discuss the intricacies of treating young people grappling with anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa.
They explore how self-awareness can help identify triggers and prevent relapses, and how grounding exercises keep teens present and focused on recovery. The episode also delves into motivational interviewing, a technique that encourages adolescents to actively participate in their treatment. By involving the family, treatments become more effective, providing a supportive environment for teens to regain their health.
If you're curious about how family-based treatments can make a difference or are looking for practical strategies to support a young person in your life, this episode offers a wealth of insights.
