How Metaphors Unravel the Mystery of Eating Difficulties
A Free Training with Dr. Anita Johnston
Registration Period November 18 - December 21, 2024
Eating issues occur on a continuum and can include yo-yo dieting, restricting food intake, binging, and, of course, more severe forms such as binge eating disorder, bulimia, and anorexia.
This free online training deals with the entire range of eating difficulties and shows how metaphors can unravel the hidden causes of eating struggles so clients can heal.
In the free online training, you’ll discover:
- The continuum of eating difficulties
- The multiple forces underlying eating issues
- How negative thoughts about body image are a red herring
- What neuroscience says about disordered eating and body image
- How metaphors work on many levels of the psyche to break through defences
- How metaphors straddle the paradox that eating difficulties are about food and are also not about food
- How eating issues run parallel to other issues in clients’ lives
- How the powerful tool of metaphor and stories can help solve the mystery of eating difficulties
- Why body image issues linger long after eating difficulties are resolved
Whether you specifically work with clients who present with eating difficulties or not, clients who struggle with food and body image are bound to show up in your office.
Not only that, but metaphors can be used virtually for any issue with any client.
Dr. Anita Johnston is a clinical psychologist who has been specializing in eating difficulties for over 37 years. She is best known for integrating metaphor and storytelling into her training to explain the complex issues underlying disordered eating and body image distress.
