Therapists often avoid treating clients with eating disorders because standard treatments like eating management and food diaries have a high failure rate. Such approaches usually don't take into account the traumatic history in these clients' lives. This workshop introduces an innovative approach that regards eating disorders as clients' unconscious attempts to enact, re-story, and resolve traumatic experiences that they can't verbally articulate. Through case studies, clients' journals, and artwork, we'll explore how bingeing, anorexia, and bulimia are actually dialogues born of unspeakable experiences. You'll learn about the metaphoric implications of each symptom: bingers build a shield for their bodies, anorectics communicate feelings of invisibility. You'll leave with specific treatment strategies to help clients find their voices and develop safe ways to resolve trauma and rebuild their lives.
