Eating disorders are the most deadly psychiatric illness, and our new neurobiological understandings point to ways to help this struggling population. At the same time, we continue to seek answers to several questions: How can we best help our clients who are struggling with an eating disorder? How do we hold our own history and relationship to food, our body, and embodiment in the context of the therapeutic relationship? How can increasing sensation and awareness of our own embodiment support our clients' healing and recovery?
Increasingly, we know that recovery includes building and maintaining relationships in a supportive field that encourages, models and facilitates the exploration and experience of embodied presence. Gestalt therapists have multiple skills that can inform these aspects of eating disorder treatment. This workshop will support therapists to increase their own sense of embodiment, best hold the phenomenological experience of their client's eating disorder in a validating way, and also offer guidelines for knowing when to refer, when to treat, and how to help clients heal and grow as they seek true recovery.
Upon completion of this workshop participants will be able to:
