Harm reduction for eating disorders is often misunderstood, under-discussed, and sometimes controversial — yet it’s transforming the way we think about treatment and care. In this episode, Sam and Laura are joined by Brenda Velissaris, LPC-S, CEDS-C, to explore how a harm reduction approach to eating disorders can meet people where they are, reduce immediate risks, support autonomy, and improve quality of life — all while holding hope for ongoing recovery. You’ll learn how harm reduction strategies can complement or provide alternatives to traditional treatment, offering new possibilities, tools, and compassionate support for those who don’t fully benefit from or feel stuck in conventional approaches.
