Dr. Lampson is the author of recently published Couples therapy book Therapy for Relationships with Eating Disorders: A clinician’s guide to Gottman-RED couples therapy.
If you haven’t read this book, grab a copy and prepare yourself for a treat! (Or come along to our couples training event in September where you will receive on with your fee) This is a thoughtful and well researched book where the struggles of couples who ‘live with’ disordered eating of all types are explored as well and treatment optionsare considered.
She illustrates the truth known now to Couples therapists – that couples presenting with co-morbidities require nuanced therapy which meets them WHERE THEY currently ‘live’ and with whatever shares their relationship life– whether it beinterpersonal trauma, addiction, betrayal, mental illness, neurodiversity, uninvited other persons or Eating issues. There is no ‘ONE SIZE FITS ALL’ and we must prepare ourselves well and work collaboratively with the couples.

About counselling
Counselling is a process where you work together with the counsellor or psychologist to:
- Build a supportive environment where you will feel safe;
- Identify issues that are causing you distress;
- Set goals aimed at achieving change and effective coping strategies;
- Determine action plans which are realistic and achievable.
In other words, counselling aims to provide a safe, supportive environment and helpful strategies to manage what you are facing.
