In this episode, I sit down with Karen Carnabucci—licensed clinical social worker, experiential therapist, and author of Healing Eating Disorders with Psychodrama—to explore how action-based, experiential methods can create profound transformation in eating disorder recovery.

Here’s what we cover in the episode:

  • What psychodrama actually is—and why it’s so powerful for people with eating disorders
  • The role of embodiment in disrupting disordered patterns and supporting real behavioral change
  • How action methods like “the empty chair” and “walking the clock” help clients see their habits, choices, and stories from new angles
  • Why practicing recovery roles (like abstinence, nourishment, or self-compassion) in the body is often more effective than simply talking about them
  • How therapists can warm up clients to experiential work without pushing them out of their comfort zone
  • Simple psychodramatic tools anyone can try—even on their own—to access insight, strength, and clarity

Karen’s approach is creative, compassionate, and deeply rooted in both clinical wisdom and real-world healing. Whether you’re a clinician, a person in recovery, or simply curious about how deeper change happens—this conversation is a must-listen.
