About this course
For most of us, body shame is normative; perhaps we cannot remember a time of feeling truly at home in our bodies. As eating disorder clinicians, we may consider interventions like CBT, mindfulness techniques and intuitive eating skills to be the standard of care in addressing the "stinking thinking" narratives of our clients. Sadly, change is often slow, painstaking and easily lost. In this presentation, we will discuss how we are living in a "cult of body shame", one that profits deeply from disinformation, misogyny, victimization of the most vulnerable, and the commodification of women's bodies. And we will also bring considerable hope for change, using both "cult psychology" and IFS as powerful tools to more deeply and sustainably build resiliency, promote healing and reject the cultural messages that drive profound body shame in our clients and ourselves.
