WORKING WITH NEGATIVE BODY IMAGE, CHRONIC DIETING, AND EMOTIONAL EATING: AN EMOTION FOCUSED APPROACH

WITH DR. AMANDA STILLAR, PH.D., REGISTERED PSYCHOLOGIST

Clients often present to therapy with concerns related to unhealthy eating habits or a preoccupation with their appearance. This might include behaviors such as emotional eating, chronic dieting, bingeing, purging, or distress related to body shape, size, or weight. These issues may be the main reason for seeking therapy or they may surface during the therapeutic process. Clients are typically unaware of how these unhealthy and problematic behaviors are connected to deeper, underlying emotional issues.

Often, therapists do not fully understand and consequently do not assess these concerns, despite their significant impact on clients’ presenting problems, health, and emotional well-being. In this workshop, you will learn to identify and assess the deeper emotional issues that drive superficial unhealthy behaviours using an emotion-focused and trauma-informed perspective. You will learn emotion-focused interventions to help clients increase emotional awareness, improve emotional self-efficacy, resolve emotional processing difficulties, and address the deeper wounds beneath unhealthy eating patterns and body image concerns.

MASTERCLASS: ADVANCED INTERVENTIONS IN EMOTION FOCUSED THERAPY TO RESOLVE COMPLEX UNFINISHED BUSINESS

WITH DR. SERINE WARWAR, PH.D., REGISTERED PSYCHOLOGIST

Unfinished Business refers to unresolved emotional pain - such as hurt, anger, shame, complicated grief, resignation, or hopelessness - related to unmet needs from past relationships, often with a parent, caregiver, or significant person. These longstanding emotional wounds stem from experiences like:

• Chronic neglect or emotional abandonment
• Absence of warmth and caring
• Criticism or not being accepted for who you are
• Conditional support or love
• Fear of an emotionally or physically abusive attachment figure
• 
  

Unresolved feelings from these experiences can result in emotional issues such as depression, anxiety, shame, unresolved grief, or damage to one's sense of healthy identity and self-esteem. Clients with complex unfinished business often feel stuck in a cycle of bad feelings that do not resolve, and these feelings are easily triggered in current situations and relationships.

20 SKILLS TO WORK WITH EMOTIONIN PSYCHOTHERAPY

WITH DR. LESLIE GREENBERG, PH.D., REGISTERED PSYCHOLOGIST

Do you ever feel unsure about how to effectively work with emotions in your therapy sessions? Do you struggle to access, regulate, or deepen your clients’ emotional experience? Do you have trouble helping your clients process emotions productively?

Working with emotion is an essential component of psychotherapy, and therapists can encounter challenging emotional processes during treatment. For example, clients often present with secondary symptoms which are frequently mistaken for the main problem. These secondary symptoms obscure the deeper emotional issues that require focused attention and intervention. To address these and other emotional issues in psychotherapy, therapists require training to learn specific skills and techniques.

In this workshop, you will learn 20 evidence-based skills to help you assess specific emotional issues and apply targeted interventions to address them. These skills draw on decades of research on emotions from multiple perspectives, including evolutionary biology and neuroscience, and can be integrated into any psychotherapeutic approaches and used with any client population. Video recordings of real therapy sessions will be used to illustrate client processes and interventions.
