EMDR Therapy for Trauma and Eating Disorders
Healing Trauma and Eating Disorders with Compassionate, Specialized Care
EMDR therapy for trauma and eating disorders, available both in-person and online, in Los Angeles, California.
At Adi Diamant Psychotherapy, as a trauma and eating disorder specialist, I use EMDR therapy to help individuals heal from eating disorders (ED) and the trauma that often underlies them. I also provide EMDR therapy to clients dealing with other mental health challenges and life difficulties, even if they don’t have an eating disorder.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapeutic approach proven to process painful memories and reduce emotional distress. It’s an effective treatment for Anorexia Nervosa (AN), Bulimia Nervosa (BN), Binge Eating Disorder (BED), Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), and disordered eating behaviors.
Trauma and Eating Disorders: Understanding the Connection
It’s important to know that not everyone with an eating disorder recognizes trauma as a part of their journey. In many cases, trauma may not be acknowledged, yet it plays a significant role in the development of unhealthy eating patterns and behaviors. Trauma can feel like a heavy word, but many of us have had overwhelming experiences—whether it’s emotional, physical, or psychological—that influence how we relate to food and ourselves.
EMDR can help you process past traumas, break free from destructive behaviors, and build a healthier relationship with food and your body. By addressing the root causes of disordered eating, EMDR therapy promotes long-term healing, emotional resilience, and self-acceptance.
Not Just for Eating Disorders
EMDR therapy is a versatile approach not only for eating disorders but also for anyone struggling with trauma, whether past or present. If you feel that overwhelming emotions, past experiences, or anxiety are impacting your relationship with food, EMDR can help restore balance and emotional well-being.
Somatic Experiencing and Trauma Healing
I specialize in trauma and eating disorders, offering EMDR therapy and Somatic Experiencing therapy as a certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP). These therapeutic approaches help individuals process and heal from trauma, restore emotional balance, and develop healthier relationships with themselves and others.
