Workshop #3 Title: When the Solution Becomes the Problem: Avoidance in Trauma and Eating Disorders. Presented By, Lacey Vogel, M.A., LMHC
Abstract: Sufferers of eating disorders and trauma tend to engage in eating pathology to avoid the emotions associated with their trauma. By directly targeting experiential avoidance, clinicians can guide clients to sustainable change. This presentation will provide attendees with a transdiagnostic approach to the treatment of eating disorders and trauma.
Learning Objectives:
1. Specify five ways in which eating disorder symptoms can be an adaptive and protective response to trauma.
2. Describe two ways in which trauma may impact body image and body trust.
3. Identify three main goals of Cognitive Processing Therapy.
Workshop #4 Title: Disentangling Yourself And Your Practice from Weight Stigma and Bias in a Fatphobic World. Presented By, Elizabeth I Rathbun, Psy.D. and Joy Zelikovsky, Psy.D.
Abstract: Fat phobia and weight bias have been found to be prevalent in multiple healthcare settings. This is especially troubling as individuals are seeking support and help yet met with weight discrimination and unethical treatment. These experiences can be harmful and traumatizing and further keep people from getting their health needs met.
Learning Objectives:
1. Explain the historical context of fatphobia and at least 1 way it reflects in our own fatphobia.
2. Identify at least 2 ways that fatphobia can impact the psychological practice space.
3. Articulate at least 3 tangible ways you can disentangle yourself personally and professionally from fatphobia and develop a more inclusive mindset and practice.
