Christi- I worked with a dietician for a few months to get my eating under control. Her name is Lorraine Eyerman [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Also I took a class on eating disorders in grad school. A ton of the research we used came from Yale's program. They might be able to help you better. A couple activities I recall were cutting out pictures that conveyed women who were not eating or promoted the need to be thin. Meal planning and complications were covered in the class and we had to create treatment plans. Groups of people had to research the programs and their services provided. Take-home point is that insurance coverage for these programs stinks. And unfortunately not so many OT's were working at the facilities. >From my personal experience, cognitive behavioral approach and life experience were helpful. I now know that when I am in a bad situation, starving will not help. Just because I ate too much does not mean the next step is to run or work out excessively to rid myself of the "extra pounds" immediately. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christi Vicino Sent: Friday, May 11, 2007 10:18 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [OTlist] OT treatment with Eating Disorders Hi Everyone....
