The second in our series with Kel exploring popular topics in the eating disorder field.
Food, weight, and body image are elements of life that we all have an experience of. Chances are you have dieted at some point, you might even experience disordered eating. Perhaps you struggle with your own body image or conversely consider yourself part of the body acceptance movement. Wherever you fall on the spectrum of attitudes towards food, weight, and body image, your beliefs have the potential to impact on how you work with clients.
During this session, we started to think about the issue and gave you the opportunity to reflect on your practice.
