Train your team to assess for and effectively treat
emotional eating and binge eating disorder.


REDUCE:

- Diabetes Distress
- Therapeutic inertia
- People 'not following the plan'
- Attrition and drop out



Why should our team take this training?

Up to 30% of adults seeking support for weight loss meet the criteria for Binge Eating Disorder.

Yet fewer than 50% of healthcare providers use the DSM criteria to assess for Binge Eating Disorder.

27% do not even know that Binge Eating Disorder is an Eating Disorder.
Up to 40% of adults with T2 Diabetes meet the criteria for binge eating disorder.

Up to 60% of bariatric surgery patients meet the criteria for binge eating disorder.

NOT assessing and treating disordered eating increases therapeutic inertia, patient distress, attrition and drop out.
Your team already know that a significant percentage of people using your service struggle with emotional eating & binge eating.

But they don't know how to correctly assess for disordered eating. They don't know if they should try to help. They don't know HOW to help.

And they often don't have suitable referral pathways.

Working with Emotional Eating and Binge Eating Disorder is not about food or weight, it is about feelings.


Specialist support is required to help clients effectively resolve emotional or binge eating, and move on to a new, healthier and helpful relationship with food. It goes WAY beyond lifestyle and behavior change!

It is never obvious that a client is struggling with Emotional Eating or Binge Eating Disorder. They can be any age, any weight and any gender - 40% of sufferers are male.

Eating Disorders also affect all nationalities and ethnicities - trauma is universal, as are weight related health issues.

 



Adults struggling with emotional or binge eating rarely voluntarily disclose their unhelpful relationship with food.


This is because Binge Eating Disorder is a secretive, shameful condition that clients work hard to hide.

If you are not asking the right questions from the start, clients will rarely disclose it voluntarily.

Clients hold deep fears about letting go of emotional eating - how will they 'cope' without it?

Disordered eating becomes part of a client's identity. The fear of 'who will I be without this' is unconscious, but very real. 

Clients need to be met with compassion and understanding by a trained professional. In this environment, clients feel safe to discuss their emotional relationship with food, and trained health professionals feel equipped and confident in supporting clients to let go of their disordered eating. 


Assessing and supporting this significant cohort of your clients / patients will help you reduce attrition, therapeutic inertia and 'non-compliance' - improving your outcomes.

 

If your team are routinely using incretin based therapies and/or GLP-1 or other medications for weight loss - then appropriate wraparound care is essential. The latest NICE guidelines have tightened up prescribing and state that wraparound care in nutrition, lifestyle changes and exercise is necessary with all weight loss medication.

Our comprehensive training will give your team members everything they need to effectively assess for and work with adults struggling with long standing emotional eating and binge eating disorder. 

'Non-compliance' is rarely simple non-compliance, it is very often undisclosed binge eating disorder.

Lifestyle and behaviour change will never get to the root of trauma related emotional or binge eating, your team need a specialist toolkit of resouces, and advanced training to provide effective support as part of effective wraparound care.

Smaller teams of 1-5 practitioners can train with our general training which runs over 12 weeks. Our CE approved training blends weekly self-directed learning with live 90 minute weekly calls on Fridays, and case study work with clients or patients within your service. This allows you to see the benefit of this training immediately.  

If you have 6+ team members to train, contact us to discuss the most time efficient way to deliver dedicated training to your group - including in-person intensive training.
