Delivery: Synchronous virtual classroom via Zoom

28.8 million Americans will have an eating disorder in their lifetime. Eating disorders are the deadliest of all mental illnesses. The surge in cases of disordered eating since Covid is staggering. Recently there has been an abundance of information on intuitive and mindful eating. The two are actually different and the learning process is challenging. Intuitive eating is a multi-layered practice that can only be successful if a detailed inquiry of an individual's "food story" is understood by the practitioner.

This course will examine the process and participants will learn how to conduct a detailed food history with their clients as well as learn other useful skills. The reason why the development of intuitive eating is so challenging will be explored and illustrated using detailed case examples. 

This workshop will include lecture, interactive exercises on mindful eating, video clips and discussion. 

Learning Objectives:

• Participant will identify 3 steps to intuitive eating.  
• Participant will recognize the most difficult step to intuitive eating and ways to help their clients.
• Participant will identify 3 steps to conducting a detailed  food inquiry.  
• Participant will be able to identify what intuitive eating isn't.

This workshop is appropriate for all level clinicians working with both adult and adolescent populations.
