Body Image Boot Camp: How to Improve Body Image in Our Clients

BodyMatters Australasia

About this event

Improving body image can be the most challenging element of working with clients recovering from disordered eating, particularly in this age of “normative discontent”. Often when our clients relationship with food is restored they continue to experience pervasive body shame.

This workshop provides an abundance of practical skills to equip therapists to target body image concerns in clients.

Learning objectives:

  • Understand the magnitude and impact of body image concerns Understand the extent to which our clients can make peace with their bodies
  • Deconstruct the cultural landscape that breeds body image issues 
  • Understand how to use nuanced language to reduce body shame Identify clinical factors that perpetuate and maintain poor body image Implement CBT based exercises to improve client’s body image

Please note: this workshop is informed by the principles of health based paradigm as a framework for understanding body image concerns
