Overview:
Intuitive eating has gained massive popularity as the anti-diet answer to food and body struggles. This approach, which teaches how to get in touch with body cues like hunger, fullness, and satisfaction while learning to trust your body around food, has been evaluated in about 200 studies to date showing its significant impact on a number of health outcomes. While intuitive eating may be the end goal, controversy exists in the eating disorder field concerning the question of introducing intuitive eating to clients, when is the appropriate time, and if it is even possible for clients with eating disorders to eat intuitively again. This session will explore the science behind why and why not intuitive eating is appropriate to use with eating disorder clients and the steps needed for clients to show readiness.
