Overview
This workshop is designed to equip clinicians with specialized techniques for effectively supporting individuals with eating disorders. The training will guide clinicians in incorporating eating disorder-specific approaches at every stage of intervention, including screening for eating disorders, evaluating individuals with these conditions, and implementing tailored interventions into their practice. Participants will gain a thorough understanding of the various types of eating disorders, their distinct symptoms, and tailored strategies to address these complex challenges. They will be supported in understanding and unpacking the link between eating disorder symptoms, emotions, food, body image, thought processes, and relationships in a detailed and evidence-based manner. Additionally, the workshop will cover the specific terminology and clinical language relevant to working with this population, enhancing the clinician's ability to communicate effectively and compassionately.
This workshop integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as the primary framework for clinical interventions in the treatment of eating disorders. Participants will also be introduced to a range of complementary therapeutic modalities, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindful Self-Compassion Theory, Shame Resilience Theory, and Family Systems Theory. Throughout the workshop, we will examine how these approaches can be applied to enhance the effectiveness of CBT, particularly in addressing the complex emotional, cognitive, and interpersonal dynamics present in individuals with eating disorders.
