She serves as the National Training Director for The Renfrew Center Foundation and is the immediate past-president of The International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals (iaedp). This workshop will focus on body image, which is perhaps the least understood and most complex of the core issues associated with eating disorder treatment. Clients are focused on and obsessed with their bodies, yet virtually disconnected from experiencing them. This workshop will address the intricate interplay among brain, body and beliefs and the effect on identity. Through lecture, demonstration, video clips, and experiential exercises, participants will learn strategies to help the client reclaim her "authentic" self and reconnect to her body.
