Modalities

Depth elements

Concentric Healing Model goes beyond behavioral symptom management by incorporating somatic and trauma modalities — including SE, EMDR, and ART — as core clinical components rather than adjuncts. Treats eating disorders as expressions of deeper trauma and relational distress, using body-centered approaches alongside cognitive restructuring to address the full nervous system dimension of recovery.
