It is such an honor to serve as the Education Chair of Iaedp South Florida Chapter alongside highly respected experts in treating eating disorders. This month, I was humbled to play a small role in making what turned out to be a SOLD OUT education event a reality.

So much gratitude is owed to Dr. Ovidio Bermudez and Elissa Mott Jones, Ed.S., LMHC for their workshop: Embodied Healing: Integrating Hard Science with Experiential Practices for Eating Disorders. This dynamic duo highlighted the importance of understanding the role that movement & exercise play in the development & maintenance of eating disorders AND the necessity of bringing movement into treatment in a trauma-informed way. We all left feeling more cared for and in touch with our bodies. Thank you to all who joined!
-Dr. Melanie Smith

For some people, it may be challenging to follow through with specific suggestions of their therapist until the client realizes why it would be important to them. Motivational Interviewing helps clients come to this realization on their own, but with guidance and support of an expert-trained therapist.
