ABSTRACT:
Families and patients often struggle to see that eating disorders are not about weight or food. This sociodramatic technique was developed to use in large multifamily groups to help educate and give the families the emotional experience of an eating disorder and create a strategy for recovery from within. The sociodrama itself uses some body resistance to concretize the body struggle and we will be practicing together how to recreate a very physicalized sociodrama into a hybrid live/zoom space.
After this workshop participants will explain the importance of familial role reversal with the patient to stop the rescue pattern and help the client heal themselves.
After this workshop participants will be able to apply ‘fat’ and healing circles for working with body image issues.
