Discovering that your client has an eating disorder can be stressful and challenging.
You know your client is facing a dangerous, potentially life-threatening condition, but it can seem impossible to get them to recognize that their behavior is a problem – even when it is taking over their life.
So, it’s no wonder few clinicians feel prepared to tackle the unremitting intensity of working with a client’s eating disorder.
But not you.
Because in this LIVE online workshop 31 January, Morag Paterson, MSc Counselling Psychology, GradDip Psychology, MA Sociology & Social Policy, MAPS, one of Australia’s leading clinicians in the treatment of eating disorders will share practical techniques from CBT-E, DBT, Schema Therapy, and Mindfulness...
...so that next time you see a client with an eating disorder, you’ll feel confident and prepared to guide them towards lasting healing.
You’ll leave this focused training with proven interventions to build your client’s trust and motivation to change so you can overcome resistance and ambivalence even when they have a deep-rooted relationship with their illness.
Best of all, you’ll walk away with new skills and treatment strategies that will help your clients replace their self-destructive behavior and make peace with food and their bodies once and for all.
