Navigating the maze of the mental health treatment world—especially the eating disorder wing of that world—is increasingly complicated, nerve-wracking, and expensive. Family members of a person with an eating disorder are often asked (and frequently want) to get treatment for themselves, but sometimes don’t know how to find it, what sort of treatment to get, and in some cases, why it is important at all. This virtual interactive seminar will address these questions and many others that family and friends often have, but don’t know whom to ask.

Patients who come to us with eating disorders initially want change and they are distressed. Most of the time, however, the powerful reasons for the development of their eating disorder, will reemerge. This workshop will focus on the specific outcome and process resistances that are common to eating disorders, and will offer therapists specific tools to use with patients at the outset so that the agenda for the work is established. Ways to positively reframe and maintain the advantages of symptoms will be identified. Additionally we will focus on ways to preserve safety and to offer the Gentle Ultimatum in order to effectively set up a treatment plan that takes pressure off of the therapist needing the patient to change.

How, where, and when to get treatment for an eating disorder is one of the more difficult and important decisions an individual, family or treatment provider will have to make.

We will also explore the different levels of care frequently utilized in eating disorder treatment, and when and how to decide which level of care is necessary at the different stages of the disorder.

This three-session introduction to eating disorders seminar will bring attendees into the tricky world of eating disorder diagnosis. We will discuss the differences between disordered eating and eating disorders. We will examine sub-clinical or “off-label” eating disorders and how to spot burgeoning eating disorders in people across the lifespan. In the DSM-V, the delineations between the various eating disorders are clear, but in the real world, the differences are much more nuanced and, often, difficult to ascertain. We will use the DSM as the guide for diagnosis, and using clinical examples and participants’ cases and questions, we will discuss what is, and what isn’t, an eating disorder.

As therapists, our most essential instrument to engage our clients is our selves–no matter what theories or techniques guide our work. But very little is written or taught about how we can prepare and use our instrument in session, moment-to-moment, with each client–particularly in terms of our implicit/ non-verbal communication as it transmits through our eyes, faces, bodies, and voices. The more aware we are of our unique instrument and how we use it, the more ethical our clinical practice will be with each unique person who seeks our help.
Utilizing his experience as both an actor and a therapist, Mark O’Connell will offer you ways to prepare and to use your instrument with awareness, responsiveness, authenticity, intentionality, versatility, responsibility, and self-care. Participants will discuss ethical dilemmas in clinical practice with individuals, couples, and families, including questions around self-disclosure, countertransference, and confidentiality. And we will study, from an ethical perspective, how we can most effectively use ourselves authentically, even in the most challenging clinical scenarios. Mark will also guide you through theatrical concepts of “objectives,” and “roles” within relationships to gain perspectives on effective communication–beyond the words we speak–and to develop and trust your own sense of ethical and clinical best practices.
