Dr. Heather Rosen joined Dr. Marianne Miller on her podcast, Dr. Marianne-Land: An Eating Disorder Recovery Podcast, to talk about eating disorder treatment for neurodivergent teens.
What They Discussed
Dr. Rosen and Dr. Miller talk about how the heart of family-based treatment (FBT) can be adapted for neurodivergent teens. They discuss why food is often a metaphor for emotional pain, and why they see flexibility, curiosity, co-regulation, and family systems awareness as central to recovery.
