The Appetite, #138: The Role of Relationships in Eating Disorders

Eating disorders don’t exist in isolation—they are deeply connected to relationships. From the “why” behind disordered eating and movement patterns to the healing process, relationships have the power to either support or harm recovery. 

In today’s episode of The Appetite, Opal’s Co-Founder & Clinical Director, Kara Bazzi, LMFT, sits down with therapist Nikki Wolf, LMHCA, to explore the role of relationship therapy in eating disorder treatment. They dive into what support people should (and shouldn’t) do when walking alongside a loved one struggling with food, body, and movement concerns.
