Workshop Session Two - Option 1

Athletes & Eating Disorders
Ken Littlefield, PsyD

Many athletes engage is eating disorder behaviors that go unnoticed. Additionally, an athlete recovering from an eating disorder will not only have to give up eating disorder behaviors but may have to give up their sport as well. This challenge to their identity can complicate recovery and treatment in unique ways. Recommendations regarding their participation in exercise and competition vary in each case. In this workshop, Ken will explain criteria and tools for working with these individuals.
