Abbi’s Pick - “Boundaries Do Not Equal Bitchy” [repost]

Alli Spotts-De Lazzer, CEDS-S LMFT is a skillful teacher here and in her book MeaningFULL about terminology and acronyms, types of therapists, types of specialties, and more. 

 

She asks us as professionals to stop perpetuating the myth that eating disorders are about control and how setting boundaries brings the safety that is needed for true recovery. 

 

A supervision nugget she received from Carolyn Costin about the importance of being AUTHENTIC. 

 

And her passion for using the multidisciplinary treatment help each other “open our patients up” that brought our workshop to life – “Staying in Your Lane In The Scope of Practice Freeway” 

 

Alli authored a great read, MeaningFULL: 23 Life-Changing Stories of Conquering Dieting, Weight, & Body Image Issues—a book of diverse stories with expert insights that can help readers to feel seen, validated, and hopeful.
