Grief can profoundly shape the eating disorder recovery journey—influencing emotions, behaviors, and one’s ability to fully engage in healing.In this compassionate and insightful presentation, we explore the intersection of grief and disordered eating, examining how loss—whether of a loved one, an identity, or a sense of control—can transform the way we relate to food, body, and self.Through the lens of attachment theory, the nonlinear nature of grief, and the physiological impact of loss, this talk offers tools and reflections to help individuals and clinicians better understand how grief shows up in recovery. Attendees will gain practical strategies for supporting themselves or their clients with empathy, self-awareness, and connection.
