In this video interview, Executive Director Diane Ryan and Trauma Therapist Ann Twilley describe how and why Mirasol Eating Disorder Treatment Centers developed its specialization in treatment of eating disorders with co-occurring complex trauma and PTSD. “Years ago most eating disorder treatment centers — Mirasol included — did not include trauma as part of their treatment programs. In fact, people were turned away if they reported significant trauma before we admitted them,” says Ryan. “So it became evident that that was not going to work, we were not going to be able to take care of people if we weren’t willing to address the traumatic issues in their lives because it was too closely tied in with the eating disorder.” Your browser does not
