Saturdays, June 5 & 12, 2021, 9 a.m.-5:30 p.m.
As clinicians, we need to be prepared to help clients deconstruct how their bodies have been storied.
This includes raising awareness of, and challenging, the impact of societal and relational power dynamics. These dynamics impact not only our inner dialog, but the everyday realities of our lives.
This course explores how we evaluate our bodies through the lens of “unidentified others,” as well as the lived experience and consequences of looks privilege and discrimination.
Participants will consider liberation-based counseling practices to counter the objectification, commodification, power and gendering of bodies in late capitalist societies.
The focus of this course is to raise awareness of body politics in the clinical practice and creating opportunities for change through individual and relational wellbeing.
This course is part of our Eating Disorders Certificate Program.
