How healthy is too healthy? When your clients are making “good” food choices, that’s good… right? In this session, Lori Kucharski, PhD, LMFT-S, LPC, CEDS-C, will show you how to recognize when your clients’ care for their bodies actually becomes harmful. You’ll learn about how to spot orthorexia, a condition characterized by preoccupation with healthy eating, and how to intervene before your client develops additional eating disorders and body image issues.
