Watch Party: Why Body Positivity is the First Step to Eating Disorder Recovery

Watch Parties are a dedicated time where we can gather and watch one of the recordings from a past webinar together. WIDIC members will have the opportunity to vote on what to watch every month! There will be additional time at the end blocked off for discussion and peer support.

Access to Watch Parties is available to all WIDIC members and anyone who has previously registered for the webinar, or purchased the recording. Watch Parties are not recorded.

For our October Watch Party, we are watching Why Body Liberation is the First Step to Eating Disorder Recovery, originally presented by Nia Patterson in December 2023.

This presentation will discuss why body liberation needs to be the foundation of eating disorder recovery rather than an afterthought. Respected Black and Queer mental health advocate, social activist, artist, content creator, podcaster, and business and body image coach Nia Patterson will examine how anti-fat bias and body image issues are inextricably linked to disordered eating and why they must be addressed right away for sustainable healing. Through discussion, Q&A, and a careful analysis of how diet culture harms people in recovery, Nia will make the case that body liberation is the essential first step on the road to freedom from eating disorders. Join us for an open and thoughtful conversation about building true peace with our bodies.
