69. Treating Trauma and Eating Disorders: Clinical Insights with Dr. Laura McLain, PsyD, BC-TMH

Join us for a thoughtful conversation about the connection between trauma and eating disorders—and how both can be effectively treated. Dr. Laura McLain, PsyD, BC-TMH (she/her), Director of Training at The Renfrew Center, discusses why trauma is a common risk factor for eating disorders and how symptoms often serve as coping strategies for a dysregulated nervous system. We also explore Renfrew’s trauma-informed approach to care, including specialized programming that not only supports individual healing but also educates the entire community about trauma—fostering a treatment environment that is sensitive, supportive, and grounded in shared understanding. This episode offers valuable insight for clinicians, prospective clients, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of trauma’s role in eating disorder recovery.   If you enjoy our show, please rate, review, subscribe, and tell your friends and colleagues!   Interested in being a guest on All Bodies.
