Eating Disorders and Trauma:
A Unified Framework for Treatment
Join Sarah Dominguez and Olivia Patrick for this practical, evidence-informed workshop designed for mental health professionals working with complex eating disorder presentations. Explore the intersection of trauma and disordered eating, and learn an integrated framework that draws on trauma-informed care, attachment theory, and contemporary treatment approaches. Through clinical case examples and interactive discussions, this workshop offers tools to deepen your formulation skills and enhance therapeutic outcomes for clients with complex histories.
The Wattle Centre workshops are for clinicians who want to enhance therapeutic skills, rejuvenate enthusiasm for client work, and transform their clients' lives.
