Chronic eating disorders can result in severe medical, social and financial impairment.
Have you ever wondered how to tackle the intricate web of eating disorders and their accompanying psychological issues? In this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', host Mary Woods welcomes Dr. Gayle Brooks, the chief clinical officer of The Renfrew Center of Florida, to shed light on this very topic. Dr. Brooks dives into the complexities of treating conditions like anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating, all while addressing co-occurring disorders such as anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and trauma response.
Dr. Brooks emphasizes the importance of a unified treatment approach, one that doesn't just focus on the eating disorder but also considers the broader psychological landscape. She explains how core psychological disturbances can perpetuate both eating disorders and other mental health issues, making it crucial to treat them holistically. The conversation covers the need for normalized eating patterns and fostering healthy relationships with food and people.

Dr. Brooks shares valuable insights into how a relational approach can support individuals in their journey to recovery, helping them build resilience and find comfort in their emotions. For anyone grappling with or supporting someone through an eating disorder, this episode offers a compassionate and comprehensive look at effective treatment strategies.
