iaedp Voices | Episode 3: TBT-S with Laura Hill, PhD

About This Episode What if understanding how the brain is wired could change the way we treat eating disorders? In this episode of iaedp Voices, host Kyle Woodson, MA, LPC, sits down with Dr. Laura Hill, Adjunct Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and Co-founder and Partner of the TBT-T Institute, to explore Temperament-Based Treatment with Supports (TBT-S), an emerging approach that is reshaping how clinicians understand and respond to eating disorder behaviors. Dr. Hill walks listeners through the foundations of TBT-T: what it is, how it was developed, and why it offers something meaningfully different from more traditional treatment frameworks. The conversation moves from theory into practice, examining how TBT-S helps patients, families, and treatment teams make sense of the neurobiological and temperament-related factors that drive eating disorder behaviors and what that understanding can look like in real clinical settings. For practitioners ready to take the next step, Dr. Hill also shares how TBT-T can work alongside approaches like CBT, DBT, ACT, and FBT, practical strategies clinicians can begin applying now, and an overview of training and certification pathways available through the TBT-T Institute. Whether you are new to this framework or looking to deepen your competency, this episode offers grounded, evidence-informed insight into a treatment approach gaining recognition across the field. iaedp Voices is sponsored by Alsana, Equip, and the Laureate Eating Disorders Program.
