Description
Join us for Ask the Experts — a dynamic and interactive quarterly event series led by Monte Nido’s nationally recognized thought leaders in the eating disorder field. This series invites attendees to learn directly from the experts shaping best practices in eating disorder treatment and recovery.
What to Expect:
🧠 Education & Insights: This series is ideal for providers, students, professionals, and individuals looking to deepen their understanding of eating disorder care through expert-led dialogue.
❓ Submit Your Questions: Have a question? Ask away! Attendees are invited to submit questions in advance during the registration process. Our Monte Nido experts will review and thoughtfully address selected questions during the session.
💻 Real-Time Q&A: Didn’t submit your question ahead of time? No worries! Engage live during the event! Submit your questions through the Q&A feature — our team will review them in real-time and answer as many as time allows.
This Quarters Theme:
Complex eating disorder cases often sit at the crossroads of trauma, co-occurring PTSD, entrenched avoidance, dissociation, medical instability, and patterns that can be misinterpreted as “resistance.” This presentation will explore how trauma shapes these presentations and why interventions often fall short without a trauma-informed lens. Drawing on clinical experience and findings from one of the largest longitudinal outcomes programs in the field, Dr. Giulia Suro will outline practical strategies for stabilizing clients, increasing engagement, and promoting progress across the continuum of care. The presentation will also highlight how Cognitive Processing Therapy can be integrated within eating disorder treatment to address trauma-related cognitions that impede eating disorder recovery. Guided by attendee-submitted questions in advance, the session will provide a realistic, case-driven look at the challenges clinicians encounter offering actionable tools, evidence-informed interventions, and guidance for navigating the most difficult eating disorder cases.
