Eating disorders don’t exist in isolation—they are deeply connected to relationships. From the “why” behind disordered eating and movement patterns to the healing process, relationships have the power to either support or harm recovery.
In today’s episode of The Appetite, Opal’s Co-Founder & Clinical Director, Kara Bazzi, LMFT, sits down with therapist Nikki Wolf, LMHCA, to explore the role of relationship therapy in eating disorder treatment. They dive into what support people should (and shouldn’t) do when walking alongside a loved one struggling with food, body, and movement concerns.
Learn more about Opal's Family+Relationship Therapy, including our curated list of resources for family and loved ones of those struggling with eating disorders.
To reach Nikki Wolf you can find her at Opal and at Wolf Heart Counseling, which gives details about her Family + Relationship Support Group - for loved ones of people with eating disorders.
