Last push for my study! I know so many dclin research studies are circulated and it can be annoying, but please consider sharing as I am trying to reach a specific audience that I’d love to give some voice to. 18-25 yr olds who have experienced an eating disorder voice as part of their ED.
Tank you!

Have you recruited all participants you needed? Your project sounds so interesting. I’m still in need of a few participants, recruitment can be a little slow can’t it x

Weight Loss Injections and β€œFood Noise” With all the buzz about weight loss injections recently, I’ve been hearing the term β€œfood noise” a lot. As an eating disorder counsellor, I often work with people who experience some kind of food nois...

Unpopular opinion:
If you take weight loss injections to quieten "food noise"... it's going to come back. It's just masking the problem.

It can be helpful to understand what "food noise" really means & explore where it comes from.

ISTDP Core Training Information. ISTDP Health was established to support clinicians in the UK to develop their clinical
practice and facilitate community connection. We offer an IEDTA accredited three-year 
core training programme based in Exeter in the South-West. The programme curriculum 
is designed to enable clinicians to develop their understanding of the theory and practice 
of ISTDP and to be effective in applying this to individual work and in complex public 
healthcare settings.
This is a small group training delivered in the peaceful 
setting of the University of Exeter. There will be five face-
to-face teaching blocks of two days per year. We use a
competency-based approach with an emphasis on 
establishing clinical understanding and effective 
therapeutic practice. Trainees will be required to bring 
video recordings of therapy cases and will receive live 
supervision. There will be careful attention to individual 
and group processes to support the learning experience. 
Trainees will also be invited to attend the ISTDP Health Seminar Series which offers 
three additional 90-minute online teaching sessions a year and an annual in-person 
ISTDP Health Day Conference.
