Overcoming Disordered Eating – Part B
Both parts of this Programme are organised into modules and includes information, worksheets, and suggested exercises or activities. We recommend that you complete the Parts (and their modules) in sequence, finishing Part A before moving on to Part B.
• Programme A (Take Charge…Initiate Change) provides information about disordered eating and offers strategies to help you start changing the behaviours associated with your disordered eating and weight control habits.
• Programme B (In Charge…Mindset Matters) offers you strategies to change your disordered thoughts about eating and weight control.
The modules in Part B specifically address thought processes and mindsets in people with disordered eating. If, after having read the modules, you would like to know more about the relationship between thoughts and feelings, please ask me and we can do more CBT type work on this
This programme follows on the Overcoming Disordered Eating – Part A, and provides some strategies and techniques to change the thinking patterns associated with disordered eating. This programme is organised into modules that are designed to be worked through in sequence. We recommend that you complete one module before going on to the next. Each module includes information, worksheets, and suggested exercises or activities.
