A complimentary educational workshop for professionals working with eating disorder clients (2.5 Contact Hours)
Continuing Education Information. Now APA Approved!
If you treat patients with eating disorders, you know these women and men struggle with issues that are both complex and pervasive. Our weight-obsessed culture places a person’s value and worth on their external shape and size. The size of their jeans or the number on the scale becomes the marker of their identity.
Now you can help patients break free from this cultural ideal. Living Free is a practical workshop on identity, size and eating. It offers tools and insight to professionals working with eating disorder patients and provides information on how to help clients see themselves as whole and complete individuals.
This workshop demonstrates practical strategies for integrating body image assessment and treatment in order to combat body hatred, resolve emotion regulation issues, curtail the use of food to manage moods, and define personal identity. Our professional speakers also present relevant information on ideal body weight ranges and the philosophy of Health at Every Size. Through case studies and experiential exercises, this presentation includes practical psychological and nutritional tools, assignments, and strategies that have been compassionately and effectively utilized in the treatment of more than 9,000 Remuda eating disorder patients.
Following this presentation, participants will:
- Identify key influences on body image and identity development during childhood, adolescence, and adulthood for both male and female clients.
- Discuss the assessment of core body image disturbances, cognitive errors, distortions, and identity issues.
- Apply evidence-based tools for intervention in body image disturbances, building resiliency, and improving a patient’s relationship with their body.
- Understand Remuda’s approach to integrating spirituality into identity issues.
- To foster interdisciplinary collaboration, recognize the factors involved in developing a nutrition care plan including individualized ideal body weight ranges.
