Document: During the COVID-19 pandemic, the realities of shared trauma, an event that creates primary and secondary traumatic effects for clinicians, are immeasurable. Clinicians have been tasked with discovering new and alternative routes for treating their ailing clientele. A particularly vulnerable population is that of the eating disorder demographic as the shift in therapeutic methods such as tele-therapy presses on. While present social norms and attitudes include gaining weight, using food to control one’s anxieties or for comfort, clinicians must navigate their own experience of pandemic life while providing known and novel resources, tools, and interventions to their eating disorder clients.

This chapter will also serve as a reflection on clinical innovation and the significance of clinician resiliency in treating eating disorders during this unprecedented time in history.
