Revealing and Healing the Roots of Disordered Eating with Compassion and Love

Psychodrama, along with sociometry and other action methods, makes working with disordered eating and body image much easier. During this all-day workshop intensive Linda Ciotola, M.Ed., TEP, CET III, and Karen Carnabucci, LCSW, TEP, will demonstrate selected action structures from their book “Healing Eating Disorders with Psychodrama and Other Action Methods” as well as new adaptations for this population.

The teaching is designed for those who are new to psychodrama as well as more seasoned clinicians, educators, and wellness and recovery coaches who want new perspectives on working with disordered eating, body image, chronic dieting, and other struggles with food.

We will demonstrate the importance of building capacity for compassion for ourselves and our bodies as well as enrolling multiple levels of strengths that are necessary for recovery. In addition, we will show a variation of action tools that can be used for both assessment and treatment that explore our relationship with our families, our bodies, and the food that we consume – or don’t.

You will learn:

Why action methods are well-suited to the treatment of disordered eating while uncovering the underlying issues.

How to facilitate action structures that are especially useful in working with individuals and groups with disordered eating.

Practice mindful doubling and role reversal techniques particularly helpful with this population.

How to use classic psychodrama structures like the empty chair for work with individuals and groups.

How to adapt these structures for online sessions with groups and individuals.
