Schema Therapy Hack (Episode 5) Enmeshment and Eating Disorders

Enmeshment is a concept in Schema Therapy that describes a dysfunctional pattern of relating within a family system. Susan Simpson explains it occurs when there is an excessive blurring of boundaries between family members, leading to a lack of autonomy and individuality. In enmeshed families, the emotional well-being of one or more parents becomes heavily dependent on the child, and the child may assume the role of an emotional caretaker or regulator for the parent.
