Navigating the Intersection of ADHD and Emotional Eating: Integrating Intuitive Eating & Self-Compassion in Therapeutic Practice
Description
Individuals with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) often face challenges with emotional regulation, which can manifest as emotional eating behaviors. This session explores the scientific connections between ADHD and emotional eating, emphasizing the role of intuitive eating practices and self-compassion in therapeutic settings. Participants will gain insights into how ADHD symptoms contribute to disordered eating patterns and learn practical strategies to support clients in developing healthier relationships with food and their bodies. The session will also address Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD), a condition prevalent among those with ADHD, and discuss approaches to mitigate its impact on self-image and eating behaviors. By integrating evidence-based research with clinical applications, attendees will be equipped to enhance their practice and better support clients dealing with the interplay of ADHD and emotional eating.
