Clinicians have struggled too with trying out different meal-support strategies over the years – from no-pressure-dinner-talk to more coercive techniques in the name of health and healing. In fact, Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), and in particular the module on Emotion Coaching, was developed over a decade ago in response to this very dilemma. Turns out that when it comes to meal support, practical suggestions, including setting limits, are equally important as validation and emotional support – but it’s the order of operations that seems to be the most critical (more on that later). Now, therapists, nurses and clinicians worldwide employ these strategies in eating disorder programs across levels of care and teach and empower parents and caregivers to do the same.
