San Antonio: Healing the Heart: Grief, Eating Disorders, and Finding a New Self
2026-01-30 12:30 - 14:00 | Esperanza Eating Disorders Center 140 Heimer Rd, #400, San Antonio, TX, 78232
Grief can deeply impact the journey of eating disorder recovery, influencing emotions, behaviors, and the ability to engage in healing. This talk explores the intersection of grief and disordered eating, addressing how loss—whether of a loved one, identity, or sense of control—can shape one’s relationship with food and body. We will discuss the emotional and physiological effects of grief, how it can complicate recovery, and the importance of assessing core needs during this process. Attendees will gain insight into compassionate coping strategies, practical tools for navigating grief in recovery, and ways to foster healing through self-awareness, support, and connection.

Learning Objectives

Examine the impact of grief on the brain and explore the cognitive and emotional processes involved in learning and adapting to life without the deceased

Identify key emotional, psychological, and physiological factors that can intensify grief.

Discuss the Nonlinear Nature of Grief – Explain that grief does not follow a fixed path and how individuals may move through Kübler-Ross’s five stages in different ways, impacting eating disorder recovery uniquely.

Apply Attachment Theory to Grief and Eating Disorder Recovery – Explain how attachment styles influence the grieving process and the ways individuals cope with loss, including the impact on emotional regulation, relationships, and eating behaviors in recovery.

Nashville: Binging to Cope: How Anxious Attachment Fuels Binge Eating—And What Clinicians Can Do
2026-02-27 08:00 - 10:00
This workshop synthesizes cutting-edge findings from three recent studies to illuminate how anxious attachment drives binge eating behaviors. This presentation demonstrates that binge eating is not merely a behavioral symptom, but a maladaptive emotional regulation strategy rooted in unmet attachment needs. Clinicians will learn how to assess for anxious attachment, recognize its behavioral signatures in binge episodes, and integrate trauma-informed, attachment-aware interventions that target the root—not just the symptom—of binge eating.

Today’s society is hyper-focused on weight and weight loss. Although access to weight loss medications and social media has increased, awareness of eating disorders remains limited. Eating disorders have one of the highest mortality rates of any mental health diagnosis, yet often remain unidentified and undertreated. This presentation will provide a snapshot of the diagnostic criteria for the most common eating disorder diagnoses, including Anorexia, Bulimia, Binge Eating Disorder, ARFID and OSFED. Participants will come away from the presentation with increased knowledge about risk factors and maintenance factors and will be better prepared to identify these characteristics in their own clients.

Learning Objectives

Identify the Diagnostic Criteria for Eating Disorders

Explore Risk Factors and Maintaining Factors

Increase Understanding of Treatment Modalities and Special Populations
