Appreciating Extreme Parts in Context: IFS, Food, and the Body

Jeanne Catanzaro and Sand Chang

Disordered eating and eating disorders are increasingly prevalent conditions that are often challenging to clients and clinicians alike. Due to the fears, stereotypes, and biases our culture holds about food and bodies, these issues are commonly seen as individual problems rather than conditions that are firmly rooted in complex and corrosive social dynamics. This program focuses on how the Internal Family Systems model transforms the treatment of disordered eating and eating disorders by addressing the matrix of individual and cultural factors that give rise to disordered eating and eating disorders. Particular attention will be paid to the importance of getting to know and heal therapist parts. This learning program was held live in Winter 2025. You can now access a recorded version of the program and learn at any time, at your own pace.

An IFSI Certificate of Completion will be available upon completion of this program. Your completion status will be tracked automatically as you progress through the program modules.
