Event Outline:

Uncovering the 'Wisdom of the illness' through creative interventions - eating disorders

This training seeks to provide participants with a deeper awareness of the nature of eating disorders and the wisdom the illness holds. While similar features exist between  various eating disorder presentations, ascertaining the creative intelligence of the eating disorder unique to each client provides a solid foundation for successful treatment. The six P process from presentation to planning is explained and creative interventions as a medium to deepen therapeutic understanding and to support change are explored. Clinical examples are offered throughout.
