Hi Rain,

I took the teleconference course with Tribole. It was very good. Though

as you allude to in your note below there are no quick fixes, we all need to do

our own work, but having someone support us in the correct way to go about it is

important and that is why I find myself here! Even though I have the tools, I

need the right type of encouragment. I wish you well in your desire to support

others, huge congrats on the work that has already been completed. I totally

agree there needs to be a huge social/cultural shift take place. Please feel

free to email me.

and food.  I have found a lot of recovery from that in my adult life, but it is

easily triggered.  It's hard to shake childhood experiences - they're deep.

 Something has come up recently that is triggering it.

Yes, Carolyn, a huge cultural/social shift has to take place. I agree with that. Thank you for posting it. Tai

Rain;

I took a 35 CEU course, involving the IE book, and 2 sets of 4 CD's. My work paid for it, so I don't know the cost, but I bet you can contact the authors and find out. As soon as I am done (it have been a long process), I will have some sort of certification to help people deal with this issue. I too am coming up from the bottom on this issue, and want to reach out to others.

Hi All,

I wanted to ask Carolyn about her experience in becoming an IE counselor. Did you take the course offered online, or did you do a telecourse, and how was it? I am also interested in doing this. I am a psychotherapist (internship completed, but haven't taken the licensing exam), and during my internship, I worked with families.

However, I know that I want to, NEED to, work with people suffering from food and body image issues, and I think that taking this course would be a good place to start.

I do believe in the IE way of life, not only for personal recovery and happiness, but for social and cultural transformation around our current views on body and food. I feel strongly drawn to working toward bringing this social transformation about.
