Presented by: Susan Kleinman, MA, BC-DMT, NCC, CEDS-S, Dance/Movement Therapist, The Renfrew Center of Florida

Held Online

Our thoughts, attitudes, and feelings are influenced by what is experienced internally in our body. Likewise, our behaviors are also influenced by our thoughts, attitudes and feelings. Specifically, in regard to body image, when our beliefs do not align with our perception of self, we can experience distress and emotions that can drive and maintain eating disorder behaviors. Expanding the ability to resolve body image issues includes examining what lies underneath those negative perceptions and feelings.

In this presentation, participants will have the opportunity to anchor in body and mind, and explore the impact of their perception of self on their life. This webinar will include an emphasis on living “in” rather than controlling the body.
