Description:
Emotional eating (including binge eating disorder and its subclinical manifestations) is a serious psychiatric disorder which frequently goes unrecognized and untreated by psychotherapists (Grilo et al., 2023). This is despite the fact that psychotherapy is considered the treatment of choice and many evidence-based forms of psychotherapy have been demonstrated effective in its treatment (Donnelly et al., 2024).
This course teaches psychotherapists trained in a variety of modalities to identify and treat their clients who are emotional eaters (Hilbert et al., 2020). Diets and exercise are considered by many clients to be the only treatments for their overeating, but in fact have been shown to increase the severity of binge eating (Messer et al., 2024). Many clients are not even aware that psychotherapy can be used to treat this issue. Substantial stigma and shame is associated with emotional eating (Levinson et al., 2024) creating reluctance for clients to reveal this issue to their therapists.
Clinicians will be taught to identify clients who have emotional eating issues (Mathisen et al., 2024) and address the trust issues inherent in clients’ disclosure of their emotional eating symptoms (Radunz et al., 2023). Participants will learn techniques to identify and increase readiness for treatment (Geller et al., 2012). This class will provide ways for clinicians to explain emotional eating to their clients and help them understand how psychotherapy can effectively address these issues.
Agenda:
9a – 9:30a | Identifying Clients with Emotional Eating and Binge Eating Disorder |
| 9:30a – 10:00a | Establishing Rapport and Identifying Readiness for Clients to Address their Emotional Eating in Psychotherapy |
| 10a – 10:45a | Linking Your Treatment Modality to Emotional Eaters’ Symptoms |

| 11:15A – 11:45A | Role Play: Using Your Own Treatment Modality to Address Emotional Eating Symptoms |
| 11:45a – 12:00p | Group Discussion and Q&A |
Learning Objectives:
- Participants will identify emotional eaters among their client population.
- Participants will distinguish level of readiness to address emotional eating issues among their clients.
- Participants will translate the principals of their therapeutic modality to address their clients’ symptoms of emotional eating.

Social workers, marriage and family therapists, and professional counselors in Pennsylvania can receive continuing education from providers approved by the American Psychological Association. Since CBI is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education, licensed social workers, licensed marriage and family therapists, and licensed professional counselors in Pennsylvania will be able to fulfill their continuing education requirements by attending CBI continuing education programs. For professionals outside the state of Pennsylvania, you must confirm with your specific State Board that APA approved CE's are accepted towards your licensure requirements. The Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) has a process for approving individual programs or providers for continuing education through their Approved Continuing Education (ACE) program. ACE approved providers and individual courses approved by ASWB are not accepted by every state and regulatory board for continuing education credits for social workers. Every US state other than New York accepts ACE approval for social workers in some capacity: New Jersey only accepts individually approved courses for social workers, rather than courses from approved providers. The West Virginia board requires board approval for live courses, but accepts ASWB ACE approval for other courses for social workers. For more information, please see https://www.aswb.org/ace/ace-jurisdiction-map/. Whether or not boards accept ASWB ACE approved continuing education for other professionals such as licensed professional counselors or licensed marriage and family therapists varies by jurisdiction. To determine if a course can be accepted by your licensing board, please review your board’s regulations or contact them. State and provincial regulatory boards have the final authority to determine whether an individual course may be accepted for continuing education credit.
