Miami-Dade NEDAW Steering Committee Presents: Honest Conversations from Both Sides of the Couch, Finding Reasons for Recovery

Honest Conversations from Both Sides of the Couch:
Finding Reasons for Recovery, featuring Dr. Michael Berrett and Jenni Schaefer
 
WORKSHOP Description:
Full recovery from eating disorders is possible. There are reasons to recover, and there are reasons to stay trapped in the illness. In order to heal, clients must both dismantle their reasons for staying sick and discover their reasons to recover. Clients must learn to embrace not just any reason to recover, but every reason, since reasons, visions, passion, purpose, and meaning can push them along the path towards recovery. In this workshop, participants will learn to better understand the power of reasons in their own lives, so they can more effectively help clients develop reasons to live and recover.
Objectives:
Following this presentation, participants will be able to:
1) Understand the importance of reasons as a foundation in the recovery process of an eating disorder.
2) Understand how to implement therapeutic interventions to help clients with eating disorders find reasons for recovery and to fully recover.
3) Increase self-awareness of how reasons help practitioners to reach their own goals and how personal experience in their work can help clients to do the same.
