Diet culture pushes the idea that thinness equals success and happiness. That pressure can make people feel like their bodies are the problem and lead to constant dieting that drains energy, joy, and can lead to an eating disorder.

You don’t have to be certain something is wrong before asking for help. Many parents we speak with share the same reflection once their teen begins eating disorder treatment: “I wish I would have acted sooner.”

If you’re unsure, an assessment can give you clarity and next steps. Contact EDCare for a free, confidential adolescent assessment. https://eatingdisorder.care/programs/adolescent-partial-hospitalization-program/

In this series, Bryn Miller, LPC, CEDS-C, Advisor of Family Services at EDCare, answers common questions about Emotion Focused Family Therapy and how it strengthens families and support networks. This post highlights who can be involved in EFFT and the importance of a whole support system.

Question: Is EFFT only for parents, or can partners and other caregivers be involved?

Answer: That's a fantastic question—and the answer is a resounding no, it's not just for parents! We know that healing requires a whole support network. So, whether it's a partner, an adult sibling, a grandparent, or a very close friend, anyone who genuinely cares and is willing to step up can be mobilized in EFFT to help build that crucial emotional safety net.
