During this special eating disorder conference offered during week-long retreats, you can earn a certification in Eating Disorder Intuitive Therapy (EDIT)™ which is a comprehensive approach for the treatment of eating disorders, featuring a combination of evidence-based practices and innovative integrative techniques.

Learn the 5 Principles of EDIT™ with Dr. Dorie

  • Love Your Self — improve body image and clarify values
  • Be True To Your Self — intuitive eating and mindful meal skills
  • Express Your Self — explore emotions as healing messengers
  • Give To Your Self — self-care to replace eating disorders
  • Believe In Your Self — relapse prevention for ongoing success

Not only will you explore what these principles mean from a clinical standpoint, you’ll also discover how to truly live these five principles in your own life! Over the course of the eating disorder conference weekend retreat, you’ll become nourished with “soul food” through introspection, exploration in nature (walking, hiking and other options), and deep connection with the other participants on the retreat. You’ll return home with enhanced clinical skills, enriched self-care, and enlivened friendships.

PLUS: The 6th EDIT™ Principle will be revealed!
(ssshhh, it’s a SECRET)!

Experience Wilderness Therapy and Enhance Your Intuitive Therapist Abilities

An essential part of the EDIT™ Method involves guiding clients to shift from the chatter of the eating disorder mind (ED) to inner wisdom which Dr. Dorie calls the Intuitive Therapist (IT) within us all. EDIT™ Certified Eating Disorder Peer Mentors, EDIT™ Certified Eating Disorder Recovery Coaches, and EDIT™ Certified Eating Disorder Treatment Clinicians facilitate this ED-IT transformation by modeling the voice of IT until clients can hear IT within themselves.

During the retreats, Dr. Dorie will guide you in a variety of Wilderness Therapy activities designed to access the inner wisdom of your own Intuitive Therapist. You’ll leave the retreat with many tools and techniques to use with your clients, along with the ability to be an Intuitive Therapist role model for your clients.
