What's happening?!

This is a 5-day forty hour treatment week is for adults with eating disorders who may have some to all of the following trait tendencies to: 

• hold back, 
• obsess and/or have a compulsive need to do an action if a rule is broken
• high attention to detail, 
• uncertainty in trusting new decisions, 
• be anxious or worry, 
• drive to do better but often does not feel perfect enough, 
• be sensitive to criticism, 
• like to have rules, or 
• be impulsive.

This cutting edge treatment treats to the traits of adults with eating disorders (ED). It includes at least one support person with each adult client, so that everyone learns to understand the biological reasons of why the eating disorder developed and how to work WITH the clients' traits to manage symptoms and live a fuller quality of life. It addresses the neurobiological and genetic precursors of the ED. It is a highly experiential treatment week where the adults and their support persons work together to try on treatment tools that help explain ED brain responses and how each client can best work with their own traits to reduce ED symptoms and live to be true to their own trait healthy expressions. It is a practical treatment based on current brain-based research.

This treatment week is not a one-time end-all eating disorder treatment!  It is a program that gives adult clients and their support persons the neurobiological and brain-bases of why an eating disorder develops, persists, and specific tools to use learning how to shift trait expressions from destructive ED symptoms to productive life responses. 

It is a spring-board for ongoing eating disorder therapy.

This is a 5-day forty hour treatment week is for adolescents with eating disorders and their parents.  

This is a cutting edge treatment that treats to the adolescents traits, and addresses the neurobiological and genetic precursors of the illness. It is a highly experiential treatment week where the adolescent and parents work within a group setting of adolescents and parents learn new tools based on trait and brain responses to reduce/eliminate eating disorder symptoms while working with the adolescents' traits to be expressed in healthy and productive ways.
