Our culture has become one of extremes; we as humans struggle desperately with how to fuel our souls, bodies, minds and relationships. The results of these struggles are vast. We become disconnected from ourselves and therefore from one another. As we become more estranged in our SELF and Other relationships we go to desperate measures to soothe the gaping emptiness left in the wake of our extreme relationships with objects becoming cyclically unbalanced.
The disorder of consumption is experienced on a spectrum from the simplest struggle to figure out what our needs and wants are to depraved and desperate addictions, to consuming or not consuming the objects of our desire. These torturous polarizations can result in extreme eating disorders, addictions to alcohol, drugs, porn, sex, admiration, workaholism and gambling addictions.
This lecture examines the dynamics that create the internal wounds and powerful protective mechanisms that create these polarized consumptive relationships. This lecture will help you understand what drives these in yourselves and in your clients, providing the opportunity for SELF healing and the facilitation of healing these exiles and protectors in others.
Learning Objectives:
1. Participants will be able to define and describe the disorders of consumption faced by the vast public and those struggling with eating disorders and other addiction processes.
2. Participants will learn how to implement interventions for the disorders of consumption.
3. Participants will learn how to navigate creating balanced consumption in their own lives and how to help clients create balanced, mindful and intuitive consumption.

I know that a lot of people think that digitalized things are ruining old fashion ways and ideas, but I think it is a great advancement and it is extremely helpful for people like myself who are introverted. This “webinar” sounds awesome! Great post.
So much free help available on your blog. You are providing a great resource!
A great cause indeed. Wish I could have gone to this seminar to help in any way. I suffered from bulimia when I was a teen. I wanted to fit in with the other guys out there and I wanted to date one of the most beautiful woman in school. So my bulimia occurred because of that. I wish I could have gone to this seminar to thank everyone for the help they do for those in need. A truly amazing cause.
Ofcourse a good flow is maintained. well wreittn stuff though i have a difference in many assumptions like Banking Nationalisation. Indira Gandhi was guided! You have forgotten the socialist lobby (of Nehru) inside the Congress and the Gandhian lobby of Desai.
