The Nitty Gritty on Family-Based Treatment for Anorexia (Maudsley Method) With Kelly McCullough @mytherapistkelly

What exactly is Family-Based Treatment (FBT) for anorexia, and how does it work in real life? In this episode, I’m joined by Kelly McCullough, LCSW (@mytherapistkelly) to break down the Maudsley Model—an evidence-based approach that puts parents in the driver’s seat of their child’s recovery. We unpack the core principles of FBT, the challenges families face, and what makes this method so effective. Whether you're new to FBT or looking for a deeper understanding of how it plays out in practice, this conversation offers valuable insight into supporting a loved one through anorexia recovery.
