Eating disorders frequently influence how individuals relate to others, shaping vulnerability, identity presentation, and relational safety. This structured group exercise helps clients explore interpersonal dynamics while receiving supportive, corrective feedback.

This clinician resource includes a facilitated group process designed to increase insight into relational patterns connected to eating disorder symptoms while promoting identity integration and self-compassion. This tool is ideal for residential, PHP, IOP, or group therapy settings and supports relationally focused treatment approaches.

A Note from the ‘Ai Pono Team

At ‘Ai Pono Hawaii Eating Disorder Treatment Center, we recognize that eating disorders often develop and persist within relational and attachment contexts. We integrate evidence-based and relationally oriented treatment approaches that emphasize connection, identity development, and safe interpersonal engagement as core components of sustainable recovery. Our clinician resources are designed to support providers in facilitating meaningful therapeutic experiences that address both symptom reduction and deeper relational healing.
