Complimentary Webinar An Integrated Approach- Trauma and Eating Disorders

Dear Readers,

Please find below details of Webinar by Castlewood Treatment Centre on An Integrated Approach- Trauma and Eating Disorders. Trauma and eating disorders can be closely connected, because people react to physical and emotional trauma in very individualistic ways. No two people are exactly alike in how they act, react, and cope following a traumatic event. For some people, life-affecting eating disorders and trauma are connected. The effects of trauma can be visible, or hidden very deeply in the psyche. The webinar below is very helpful in understanding the trauma and eating disorders.
