Episode #6 Climbing the Competency Mountain

Episode 6: Climbing the Competency Mountain   Feeling confident in the eating disorder field ALWAYS starts by knowing what you DONT know. Focusing on mainly treating those with EDs (through a private practice position or hospital program position for example) and getting basics down can feel daunting. Yet so important in building competency. We're here to say its doable! In this episode Mateus and Jill talk about their "growth" in the field. Some similarities but many differences! Mateus received thorough education and mentorship through Wellness Coaching & Nutrition Therapy's Residency Program. This is discussed in Episode 5. In the backend learn about the 8 Core Competencies needed to effectively treat eating disorders. In the next several episodes we'll dive deep into each one with resources, case studies and even guest speakers in the field. One resource we think is helpful to have a good overview of topics as well as some of the research behind it is:  Treatment of Eating Disorders: Bridging the Research Practice Gap: https://www.amazon.com/Treatment-Eating-Disorders-Bridging-Research-practice/dp/0128102071.   We hope to see you in the "back end" exclusively when you subscribe on Apple podcast!
