EMDR for Eating Disorders: An Informational Sheet & Psychoeducation Handout

When clients are considering whether EMDR is the right fit for their eating disorder recovery, the idea of starting trauma therapy can feel deeply intimidating. They often wonder how eye movements connect to food or body image, or worry that processing past painful memories will feel too overwhelming.

This 2-page informational sheet is specifically designed as an introduction for clients who are exploring how EMDR can support their healing. Instead of overwhelming them with heavy clinical terminology, it explains how disordered eating patterns are frequently fueled by underlying trauma, attachment wounds, and internalized shame.

It prints on a single double-sided page, making it an approachable tool to hand to a client who is curious about EMDR but isn't sure what to expect.
