Eating Disorder Recovery using Imagery as a Complimentary Tool

with

Laurelee Roark, MA, CCHT

Thursday, September 17, 2020

4 to 5 pm PST

In this webinar we will learn the components of eating disorders and its recovery. Consider that eating disorders come from a profound place of strength, not weakness. Using imagery, we can lead a person to honor and respect the eating disorder as a way they devised early in life, for taking care of themselves. Learning how to have trust and faith that there is a very good reason for the disorder is an important part of the recovery. Recovery lies in creating compassion for the struggle and learning gratitude for how the eating disorder has helped the person survive.

Using imagery is an ideal way to get at the source of the disorder, let go of shame, self-judgment, self-hatred and turn to acceptance, respect and love. Imagery is a powerful tool because it allows the person to go inside of themselves to understand how and why they originally made the decision of self-preservation and how it is no longer working for them anymore.
