About the Training
Binge Eating Disorder (BED) and Night Eating Syndrome (NES) are two eating disorders that share certain similarities, yet they remain as two distinct diagnoses. BED seems much more well-known, while NES seems to be overlooked or misdiagnosed due to lack of awareness. Both disorders can be conceptualized and treated through a medical, psychological and psychosocial lens, with emotional avoidance and irregular eating patterns as common denominators.
This virtual 2 CE presentation will provide tools to effectively monitor the emotional patterns that contribute to binge eating and night eating episodes, allowing clients to challenge thinking traps and experiment with alternative behaviors. Concrete interventions for effective application and integration into clinicians’ own personal treatment style will be provided to enhance recovery with these complex populations.
