Whether you’re seeking support for yourself or a loved one, Oasis provides trauma-informed treatment plans that prioritize mental health, self-esteem, and long-term recovery.
Many people who live with eating disorders have experienced some form of trauma. This can include a single traumatic event or repeated exposure to distressing experiences. Trauma doesn’t always look the same: it may involve physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, neglect, bullying, or witnessing violence. Regardless of the source, unresolved trauma can deeply impact a person’s relationship with food, body image, and emotional regulation.
Eating disorders may develop as a coping mechanism for managing symptoms of PTSD, intrusive thoughts, or overwhelming emotions. Disordered behaviors like restriction, binging, or purging can offer a false sense of control or temporary relief from emotional pain. However, these behaviors ultimately undermine physical and mental well-being.
Trauma therapy for eating disorders aims to heal both the psychological wounds of past trauma and the disordered eating patterns that often develop as a result. This form of treatment is both integrative and individualized, recognizing that each person’s experience with trauma and recovery is unique.
Trauma therapy typically includes:
An evidence-based intervention that helps reprocess traumatic memories by using guided eye movements, EMDR reduces the emotional charge of past experiences.
Helps clients identify and challenge negative thoughts and behaviors while building healthy coping skills.
Focuses on emotional regulation, mindfulness, and distress tolerance—skills essential for those managing intense trauma responses.
A gradual and controlled approach to helping individuals face traumatic memories or triggers in a safe therapeutic setting.
In addition to these modalities, therapy sessions often incorporate mindfulness techniques, body-based practices, and strength-based interventions to promote self-awareness and emotional healing.
A trauma-informed approach ensures that all aspects of care—from the physical environment to the therapeutic techniques used—are sensitive to the needs of individuals who have experienced trauma. At Oasis, this means we:
