This workshop will include a variety of change patterns designed to resolve unconscious blocks and limiting beliefs/patterns that contribute to disordered eating and weight-related behaviors. Participants will experience an intuitive and bio-energetic approach that can help clients find peace with food, joy and vitality in their body, and return to health. It is known from the study of neuroscience and quantum physics, that a connection and a relationship between the mental, emotional, physical and subtle energetic dimensions does indeed exist. We will explore this Mind-Body connection with cutting edge strategies, techniques and tools to help clients experience relief from eating disordered behaviors. Experiential opportunities include helping clients to make well-formed outcomes for recovery, what specifically stops them from attaining this outcome, and specific NLP strategies and change patterns effective for attaining their desired outcomes.
II. Video Demonstrations: Simple and Adaptable NLP Strategies for Changing Eating Disordered Behavior Patterns
Video-taped client sessions demonstrate changing disordered eating and weight-related behaviors; through guided self-discovery, the client quickly learns what is stopping them from recovery efforts, and how they can access desired states for sustainable recovery. Clients find lasting changes in deepening inner connection, honoring a more peaceful relationship with their bodies, and learning their own sustainable self-care practices, fueling long-term commitment and motivation for recovery.
III. Integration of Body, Mind, Soul and Spirit in ED Recovery:
Disconnection and fragmentation between core aspects of the self are almost universal symptoms of eating disorders. An integrated approach to healing the core self, involves therapies which engage the conscious and unconscious mind in reconnecting the body, heart, soul and spirit. Integration restores balance along the full continuum of eating and weight issues, and prevents rebounding from restricting to binging, or one eating and weight concern to another.
IV. Questions and Answers
This original workshop is a creative mind-body-spirit approach to support recovery across the spectrum of eating disorders, both practical in the clinical and community setting, and supported by research. Exploring a whole-brain, creative method in working with clients, clinicians will learn a process for their clients to self-discover the true purpose in their eating disorder thoughts and behaviors, and how to transform them for lasting recovery. The approach incorporates best practices from the fields of eating disorders, psychology, intuitive nutrition, medicine, public health, media literacy, and the size acceptance movement.
This workshop will focus on creative NLP applications and experiential activities for self-discovery that honors the client’s experience to transform their eating disordered behaviors and embody joyful, sustainable self-care practices, allowing their focus to be in recovery, living vibrant and purposeful lives.
The goals for this workshop are to provide the tools, methods and resources to help clinicians to:
¨ Utilize simple NLP techniques to transform and integrate the meaning and purpose in their client’s eating disorder behaviors—from hungers, food cravings to body talk, size and weight and exercise extremes or compensatory activities—in their clinical practice
¨ Explore creative arts, imagery, mindfulness, intuition and intention as change agents with clients
¨ Utilize alternative creative therapies and integrative (mind-body-soul-spirit) approaches that lead to sustainable recovery from eating disorders across the spectrum
