Working With Eating Disorders

Eating disorders are present not only among those who declare their symptoms; they are also hidden among people who present for help with other emotional and physical problems. The ability to assist others to regain a healthy relationship with food and thus with themselves, is both a sought after and a highly rewarding skill.

The Course is highly integrative, referencing the skills of CBT, CBT-E and CeBT; motivational & nutritional therapies, mindfulness, NLP, TA and Meridian therapies. There is a variety of learning formats, group presentation, small group exercises, role-plays, diagnostic sessions and practical skill-building work. The strength of the learning lies in knowing which ways to apply these models to the complex issues which underlie eating problems.
