Coffee and Conversation

A look into perfectionism and its effects on the brain
Do you or a loved one feel pressure to meet high standards of achievement?
Do you feel like you are cracking under the pressure to be perfect in different areas of your life?
Do you ever wonder why physical fitness is not fun anymore and feels compulsive?
You are not alone. Many people feel pressure to meet exceptionally high standards and expectations. They often wonder how to live a balanced life. Learn how to help yourself, a loved one, or a client reduce their critical self-talk, improve their self-esteem, and meet their full potential.
Join us July 26th at The Eating Disorder Foundation (EDF) for our educational series, Coffee & Conversation.
Come learn from eating disorder specialists Helene Simons, PhD, and Janelle Hunt, RD.

Advanced Parent & Caregiver Workshop
Aug 23 @ 8:30 am – 4:00 pm

Overview

Inspired by Emotion-Focused Family Therapy – and with a dose of humor – this workshop will introduce practical skills to support your child’s recovery from an eating disorder. Parents and caregivers will be taught specific techniques to increase cooperation around meal times as well as to respond to strong emotional reactions, including expressions of anger, hopelessness, even silence. Not sure how to respond to “I won’t eat that” “I don’t want help” & “I feel fat” in a way that is loving and productive? We’ll cover that too. Finally, participants will be supported to identify and work through caregiving and co-parenting challenges most often encountered along the road to recovery. This workshop is best suited to parents, stepparents, grandparents and alternate caregivers of a loved one with an eating disorder, regardless of their age, involvement in treatment or motivation to recover.

 

Workshop Timeline:

8:30 am-9:00 am Coffee

9:00 am- 12:00 pm Workshop

12:00 pm- 1:00pm Lunch Break
