[Audio] BT10 Short Course 01 – Mind-Body Brief Therapy Solutions for Long Term Success in Body-Dysmorphia Patients – Marc Oster, PsyD, Carolyn Sauer, PsyD

Description:

Physical and psychological recovery is an important concern for patients having had weight loss surgery or other significant body altering events. This workshop will focus on the physical and emotional experience of body dysmorphia, that is not “seeing” oneself as others do. We will address how brief mind-body approaches can aid in resolving these conditions and enhance lasting recovery. Methods will include counseling, social support, massage, yoga, martial arts, and exercise. With Carolyn Sauer and Marc Oster.

Educational Objectives:

1. Describe the concept of “emotional dysmorphia” and how it relates to recovering from body altering events such as bariatric surgery patients.
2. Describe how multiple “body awareness therapies” enhance the psychological treatment and recovery of such patients.
