We are thrilled to be hosting Thom Rutledge, LCSW and Julie Merryman to our 2010 workshop series.  This workshop is based on the philosophy and methodology of Thom’s INTRApersonal Therapy Model applied to the treatment of anorexia and bulimia.  The emphasis of this work is on helping people to discover and develop their identity beyond eating disorders.  The weekend is a blend of didactic presentation, group discussion, and therapeutic exercises.

The Healing Cirruculum

Like other Onsite Programs, Beyond Eating Disorders includes experiential work: participants will experience firsthand the power of Thom’s Separation Method of eating disorder therapy in which people are taught to utilize a powerful relationship metaphor to free themselves from “Ed’s” (acronym for eating disorder) control.  Thom is a psychotherapist and the author of Embracing Fear: How to turn what Scares Us into Our Greatest Gift.
