Therapist's Guide to Treating Eating Disorders in a Social Media Age

Humans need space to think, be, and process without constant distraction, especially adolescents and young adults. Social media has created both a place for identity creation and an audience, but constant connection leaves little space without intrusion from others. Shauna Frisbie's book utilizes phototherapy techniques to help uncover underlying messages that impact clients' relationship with their bodies, promoting self-compassion, self-reflection, and healing.

All individuals require a significant amount of space to engage in introspection, self-expression, and cognitive processing without constant interruptions. This holds particular significance for adolescents and young adults, who are actively engaged in the complex process of identity formation. The rise of social media has created both a platform for the construction of identity and a receptive audience. However, the pervasive nature of constant connectivity leaves minimal room for personal boundaries, resulting in a constant intrusion from others. For individuals grappling with body dissatisfaction and/or eating disorders, navigating the contemporary world can be particularly challenging, and exposure to images on social media and other online platforms can have devastating consequences.

Shauna Frisbie employs phototherapy techniques to assist clients in exploring their selected images, whether they pertain to themselves or others. By integrating concepts of healing narratives, neuroscience, and phototherapy, this book aims to empower therapists to foster self-compassion, self-reflection, and healing within their clients.
