Description
The 5 R’s of Trauma-Informed Treatment for Eating Disorders
Essential Knowledge for Every Clinician Working with Eating Disorders and Trauma
Do you ever feel stuck treating complex eating disorder clients?
You’re not alone.
Even the most skilled therapists can hit walls when shame, dissociation, or trauma histories keep showing up in the therapy room. Traditional eating disorder frameworks often miss the deeper layers. EMDR protocols, while powerful, can sometimes feel incomplete when faced with fragmentation and protective parts.
That’s where the 5 R’s Model comes in.
What Are the 5 R’s?
The 5 R’s are a practical, trauma-informed framework for integrating EMDR with eating disorder treatment. They give you a roadmap to see beneath the surface symptoms and create sustainable, transformative change.
1. Recognise
2. Relate
3. Resource
4. Reprocess
5. Reintegrate
Why This Matters
If you’re working with trauma, you’re already working with eating disorders—even if your clients never disclose them. Shame and secrecy often hide body image struggles, restrictive patterns, or binge–purge cycles. Without a trauma-informed lens, these issues go unnoticed and untreated.
By learning the 5 R’s Model, you’ll:
- Avoid wasting years piecing together fragmented trainings and get a model that organises your existing practice.
- Save your clients (and yourself) the frustration of “treatment as usual” that doesn’t reach the root.
What You’ll Get in This Training
- A clear breakdown of the 5 R’s Model
- Case examples
- A step-by-step roadmap to integrate EMDR with eating disorder treatment
- 45 minutes to learn to the road map for trauma-informed eating disorder treatment
This is more than information. It’s the missing framework you’ve been searching for to treat eating disorders through a truly trauma-informed lens.
Who This Is For
This training is designed for:
- EMDR-trained clinicians working with eating disorders
- Schema and trauma therapists wanting to deepen their skills (includes a BONUS video of how the model applies to Schema-Therapy without EMDR)
- Clinicians who know “standard CBT-E approaches” don’t cut it with complex cases
If you’ve ever thought: “I don’t feel fully prepared to help these clients”—this is your next step.
Take the Shortcut I Wish I Had
I spent years (and tens of thousands of dollars) pulling together EMDR, schema therapy, eating disorder specialisation, and trauma training to create what I now teach as the 5 R’s Model. You don’t have to go through that same long, expensive journey.
This training gives you the distilled, practical roadmap—so you can start using it immediately. 45 minute webinar.
