I had the privilege of attending two of Anita's workshops and found them both helpful in my clinical practice and in my personal life. Anita is a dynamic speaker she makes use of storytelling, myths and metaphors in much of her work.
I must admit when I first heard Anita talk I thought to myself 'How can the use of storytelling be helpful?'. What I have learned is that storytelling, use of myth and metaphor is a powerful tool--it allows humans to connect to themselves in a different way than conventional talk therapy.
When we watch a touching movie, for example, we often identify with characters, have a strong emotional reactions and have a shared emotional experience.
Because Anita includes non-traditional methods in her work with women I think attending her seminar is
a unique experience for any woman struggling with body image disturbance, disordered eating or obesity.
Here are the details of Anita's upcoming workshop:
