COURSE TITLE: THREE DECADES OF SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT STRATEGIES

Course Format: Online

Course Summary (Program Content Description):
The therapeutic journey to recovery from an eating disorder is hard work for both the clinician and the client. Both can become disillusioned with lack of progress or the pain that accompanies recovery. Resistance and ambivalence are normal and expected parts of the recovery process, making treatment difficult and trying. So, how does one stay passionate and full of enthusiasm for the process, especially after decades of treating people eating disorders? Sharing her personal story of becoming recovered and then becoming a therapist, Carolyn shares highlights of the last 30 years of her work as an eating disorder therapist that has kept her engaged, passionate and still crazy about her work after all these years. Participants will be shown various strategies that Carolyn has used throughout the years that she believes have contributed to her success as a therapist and kept both her and her clients motivated and engaged in the process.
