Please join the Denver Metro iaedp Chapter for breakfast and an engaging presentation and discussion by Tammy Beasley, RDN, CEDRD, LD, CSSD on "It's My Food and Body's Fault": Nutrition Therapy for Self-Compassion and Shame Reduction in Eating Disorders. Within an eating disorder, food takes on multiple roles and meanings that lose connection with truth and balance, and increase shame. Confused internal messages are supported by unreliable external messages from the internet and social media. These combinations of messages lead to eating chaos and distort the power of food to heal and nurture both body and mind. Helping our clients move from a position of distrust towards food and body to a position of neutrality is one of the first goals of nutrition therapy. This presentation will discuss this role of food as healing medicine and how nutrition therapy can specifically reduce shame and increase self compassion during the recovery process.  We are honored to have Tammy present on this topic.  

Learning Objectives:
a. Explain why and how physiological changes in recovery can be misinterpreted as "my food and body's fault"

  1. Discuss the role of nutrition therapy to reduce shame and increase self-compassion
  2. Apply creative techniques and analogies to help clients restore a healthier relationship with both food and body
