Fourth Annual Public Lecture
Change
Your Eating, Change Your Life:
Transforming Your Emotional Relationship With Food
Saturday
February 26, 2005
3 - 5pm The Friday Center for Continuing Education
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Distinguished
Speaker: Susie Orbach, PhD
The North Carolina Psychoanalytic Foundation is pleased to present psychoanalyst
Susie Orbach, PhD, internationally renowned expert on eating disorders
and women's psychology and the critically acclaimed author of Fat Is
a Feminist Issue, Hunger Strike and On Eating.
The 3-5 pm lecture, Change Your Eating, Change Your Life: Transforming
Your Emotional Relationship With Food, is open to the general public,
nutritionists, mental health and healthcare professionals. During this
session, Dr. Orbach will explore strategies for changing our relationship
with food that go beyond the latest weight-loss fads. She will discuss
the ways in which food can be used to meet emotional needs, leaving us
vulnerable to eat when we are not hungry or to become dangerously deaf
to the body's hunger, as in anorexia. Food becomes dangerous, a source
of guilt, fear and unhappiness, while diets provide only temporary solutions
because they ignore our emotional relationship with food. Dr. Orbach will
teach a practical and effective set of techniques to learn to eat when
we are hungry, stop when we are full, and become aware of ways to meet
our emotional needs directly.
At the conclusion of the workshop Dr. Orbach will be available to sign
copies of her books, which will be for sale in the lobby (cash and checks
only).
$15 if purchased in advance by February 18, 2005; $20 at the door.
