Dismantling Fatphobia in the Therapy Space

Title: Dismantling Fatphobia in the Therapy Space

Date: May 5, 2023, 10 am MDT - 1:00 pm MDT

Location: online synchronous 

Description:
While many therapists feel aligned theoretically with body positivity, clients will still feel the impact of direct and indirect messages of fatphobia within their relationship with their therapist. Fat people are socialized to feel shame about their body size, told to take up less space and are presented everyday with societal messages of disgust, along with demands that they address the problem of their fatness. This presentation will discuss the often-daily traumas fat people face, the typical experiences of fat people in therapeutic spaces, consider intersecting identities of gender, race, ability and sexuality as well as body shape and degrees of fatness that compound the trauma of living in a world that hates fat people, allow therapists to examine their own anti-fat bias and share ideas, skills resources for clinicians to provide better care for their fat clients.
This training will be recorded. If you don't want your voice to be recorded, you can always use the chat during the event. Only the speaker and slides will be visually recorded.
Are you hoping to just watch the recording? While some of this training is definitely experiential, we will be recording and you'll have access to watch for 90 days after the event. CE credit is available for asynchronous attendance.

Learning Objectives:
•Identify three examples of fatphobia most fat people experience.
•Identify three clinical considerations for fat clients.
•Name three specific steps they will take next to address fatphobia in their therapeutic space and practice.
