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. 00:00 – Intro 02:50 – How Kristina found out about Psychodrama 4:23 – What is psychodrama? 6:53 – The role of embodiment in healing disordered eating 10:02 – Practicing recovery patterns in the body, not just in theory 11:04 – The disconnect in disordered eating and how the body drives automatic behaviors 11:58 – Karen’s path from journalist to psychodrama therapist 13:24 – What are some surprising insights clients might gain from psychodrama versus talk therapy? 15:20 – A client’s breakthrough moment with lemon meringue pie 16:35 – Common psychodrama…","meta_description":"In this episode, I sit down with Karen Carnabucci—licensed clinical social worker, experiential therapist, and author of Healing Eating Disorders with Psy…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2982,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/beyond-binge-eating-7099183/episodes/the-power-of-psychodrama-for-recovery-karen-carnabucci-s-innovative-approach-to-therapy/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/beyond-binge-eating-7099183/the-power-of-psychodrama-for-recovery-karen-carnabucci-s-innovative-approach-to-therapy.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
