Nonverbal mirroring and the challenge of eating disorder therapy


In this post, I discuss how deficits in social bonding could reduce the effectiveness of nonverbal mirroring in treating eating disorders.


Key Points:


  • Nonverbal mirroring is a therapeutic technique that can enhance the client-counselor relationship.


  • New research, however, suggests that nonverbal mirroring could be ineffective in eating disorders treatment.


  • People with eating disorders often struggle with social intimacy, possibly due to oxytocin dysregulation.
