Description

Tammy Beasley, MS, RDN, CEDS-S, CSSD

Tammy shares a LOT with us today:  

• What she’s learned about disclosure and what questions to ask yourself when you feel like sharing personal information. 

• Our training does not prepare us for working with eating disorder clients – no shame. 

• We are trained to give all the answers, but it’s NOT our job to give answers.  Listen in for what our job IS. 

• "All those rough edges of self-growth keep popping up.  We smooth them out and they will come back." 

• Less is more – sit back and listen and not feel like we have to have all the answers. Ask One More Question.

• Can Vegan clients find recovery? 

Tammy’s Seasonings: 

• Eating Disorders: Nutrition Therapy in the Recovery Process by Rieff and Rieff
• “Do no shame” – instead of do no harm. 

• The client has to lead that journey. Guide the client to see the options. 

• Always ask for help (collaborate with therapists, medical providers, and SUPERVISION)
