Facilitated by Sue Huff, Family Peer Supporter with the Alberta Wellness Center for Eating Disorders and former Executive Director for Eating Disorder Support Network of Alberta. Sue is trained in Peer Support, Emotion Focused Family Therapy, and Mediation.
When Sue learned this skill, it was transformative in her own family as her child battled an eating disorder: “This is literally a life-saving skill. People who are flooded with emotion are not rational, and if they feel alone and overwhelmed, they can make very desperate and sometimes irrevocable decisions. By helping them learn to regulate their emotions using this approach, we can show them that there is light at the end of the emotional storm."
