The Mind Body Well Eating Disorder Masterclass series offers professional development for allied health and medical professionals working with people experiencing eating disorders, body image, and weight and shape concerns. The sessions are suitable for all therapists regardless of experience, however they will assume general knowledge of eating disorder diagnosis and treatment options.
Each session has been presented by an experienced Mind Body Well therapist, exploring the topic through a Health at Every Size® lens, focussing on inclusive and respectful therapeutic approaches which are both evidence based and client centred.
The Masterclasses were conducted via Zoom and have been recorded for ongoing access. Once registered, you will have access to the recording and handouts from the session for 3 months following registration. Sessions have a practical focus for therapists working with people with Eating Disorders in the Australian treatment setting.
Eating Disorder Masterclass #6 - Wellbeing not Weight: Providing respectful, weight inclusive therapy
Presenter
Janet Lowndes, Director and Principal Psychologist, Mind Body Well
Masterclass topic
The weight-centric paradigm common to health promotion messaging centres thin bodies and assumes that weight loss is analogous to health and wellbeing. Alternatively, weight inclusive care does not make assumptions based on weight, and encourages therapists to respectfully provide recommendations focused on physical, social and emotional wellbeing. This webinar will explore the fundamental of weight inclusive care, offering therapists the opportunity to examine their own conscious and unconscious weight bias, enabling them to provide inclusive, respectful care to clients across the weight spectrum.
This Masterclass will explore:
the fundamentals of weight inclusive care
understanding weight stigma and weight bias
differentiating weight normative v’s weight inclusive approaches
principles of respectful, inclusive therapy
