[b]Trauma Track[/b]

Many patients at the Eating Disorder Center of Denver have also experienced trauma. The center helps them understand and determine the connection between their trauma and eating disorder. This empowerment enables a patient to succeed in recovery. The aim of the Trauma Track is to provide patients a safe environment to learn coping skills and the cause of their trauma.

Patients who are part of this program attend a once-a-week Trauma Group. This enables participants to acknowledge the existence of the trauma, talk about it openly, and get information about how their problem may be linked to their eating disorder. The facilitators teach grounding and coping methods that empower each patient.
