Compulsive and addictive eating can feel like a form of bondage, as individuals struggle with loss of control, food obsession, and unhealthy body image. In this workshop, psychologists and licensed mental health professionals will evaluate a dynamic, holistic approach to developing a recovery mindset, helping clients break free from these patterns and build a sustainable, healthy relationship with food and body image. Participants will focus on healing the mind, body, and spirit, and explore the necessary level of care to bring about true transformation in clients. Participants will recognize the nature of compulsive and addictive eating and the appropriate level of care required for lasting change. Participants will also formulate how to implement a biblical model of care, using faith-based principles to aid in the renewal of the mind through brain training for Christian clients. Additionally, participants will gain practical skills to help clients navigate support systems and integrate these resources into their ongoing recovery journey.
