Course Description

This course is designed to give therapists a basic understanding of how to appropriately navigate the topic of body image, dieting, and/or disordered eating that does not meet criteria for an eating disorder. Participants will gain knowledge about the HAES philosophy, set point theory, and the body neutrality scale to help clients achieve a loving relationship with their body and food. This course will offer information for clinicians to share with their clients as well as help shift tendencies that therapists themselves may hold which unwittingly promote diet culture in ways that harm our clients unintentionally.
