HELPING WOMEN WITH EATING DISORDERS:
A MULTI-FACETED
APPROACH

Center for Mindful Living, Hartford, CT
Facilitators: Jo Nol, Ph.D.,LCSW, Char
Wilkins, LCSW
2 CECs. Pre-registration
required.
Mental healthcare workers need to understand the physiological and
psychological underpinnings of compulsive eating and
endless cycles of dieting. Just as with other compulsive
disorders, eating problems demand new, comprehensive
approaches. Drawing from three empirically supported
theories: Mindfulness-based practice, Control-mastery
theory and the principles of the South Beach program, they
have developed a program in which women are supported in making
physiological, psychological and ultimately dynamic shifts
toward improved self-care and safe, gradual weight loss. (2 CECs).

Susan Woods, LICSW
CECS pending
Even when it is our intention to take better care of
ourselves in our personal and professional lives, we often
neglect our own self-care, falling into old habitual ways
of thinking and reacting that aren't useful. This
retreat/training for professionals is focused on helping
you explore the relevance of formal and informal
mindfulness practice in terms of your personal well-being
and professional intention. The heart of these three days
will be in exploring how the embodiment of practice can not
only inform our personal lives, but transform how we
experience and are with others' suffering.
