In Her Arms: How Mother-Daughter Healing Fosters Eating Disorder Recovery 

presented by: Marcelle Little, (she/her), LMFT

This presentation explores the profound impact of the mother-daughter relationship on the development and treatment of eating disorders. Through a feminist psychotherapy perspective, we will examine themes of attachment, separation, individuation, cultural influences, and matrophobia. We’ll discuss how gender role expectations, identity, and generational patterns shape this dynamic, alongside a clinical case discussion. By understanding the mother-daughter attachment model, we can explore how mothers can serve as a vital resource for recovery, fostering healing and resilience rather than focusing on blame or shame.
