Mastering Body Image Conversations: How to Start, Guide, and Grow Body Image Work with All Clients
June 24 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am PDT
| Body image work is often the hot potato and elephant in the room. It is important that eating disorder providers feel confident in the conversation to help clients explore and get unstuck. We don’t need to be perfect. We need to be aware, informed, and safe. This webinar will provide guidance on how to assess and stay in your scope/comfort zone to make the most impact and practice from a harm reduction approach. We will explore important pillars to practicing safe, effective, individualized support as well as beginning tools and where to get started. Our time together will support both new and seasoned clinicians in building confidence in engaging in body image work with their clients. |
