This workshop is suitable for ALL clinicians collaborating with people living with an eating disorder.
This collaborative workshop will include information on:
Changes that have occurred over the past 20 years in the eating disorder field including cutting edge research regarding,
- Genetic and neurobiological underpinnings.
- Greater appreciation as to the effects of starvation on the brain.
- Developing knowledge related to neurodiversity, gender diversity and body diversity.
- The importance of listening to the voices of those with a lived experience.
- The changing face of eating disorder treatment including trauma informed practice.
- Eating disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions.
- Current evidenced based treatments in terms of relevance and how they might expand to encompass developments in the field.
The workshop will include group discussion, reflection, and feedback to explore the important differences between therapist “drift” and intentional, thoughtful divergence from treatment manuals to navigate the shifting tides of knowledge in our field.
