Title:The Dynamics of Craving and Desire,
Members: please click the “Members” link above to log in and obtain the call in number Time and Date (November 6, 2008 -2:50 PM EST) Brief Description: When craving is misunderstood or misguided, it often has the power to propel people into a vicious cycle of mindless eating. Ironically, the desire for fullness often turns into deeper levels of both physical and emotional hunger, usually followed by intense craving for more and more food. Mindfulness at any stage of the cycle opens up choices and opportunities to step into a new way of relating to craving and the habits that drive it. The handout will be posted on the TCME website 2 days prior to the teleconference. Click on the left hand orange box "Articles and Books" on the Home Page. Educational Objectives:1)Learn the distinction between two types of craving and desire. 2)Become familiar with the dynamics of the craving cycle and how it applies to mindless overeating. 3)Learn the various “voices of desire” that help perpetuate the craving cycle. 4)Learn how mindfulness helps release oneself from the cycle, no matter where you are within it. Target Audience:Professionals who work with or who are interested in compulsive overeating and mindful ways to relate to it. Presented By: Ronna Kabatznick, Ph.D. Title: The 'Hungry Ghost' within
Members: please click the “Members” link above to log in and obtain the call in number Time & Date: (December 4, 2:00-2:50, EST) Brief Description: Have you ever heard clients report, “I feel like a bottomless pit”? Or, after eating large amounts of food, emphatically note, “I still feel hungry.”? The ‘Hungry Ghost’ is usually the energetic force that drives clients to eat more, feel less and remain perpetually unsatisfied. If one cookie tastes good, a hundred more would be better. The irony is, the more we eat mindlessly, the less we are likely to feel satisfied and content. Why is this so? The nature of the Hungry Ghost is insatiable. It cannot be satisfied by any amount of food. It can only become satisfied when we respectfully acknowledge its presence, its moods, it's behaviors, it's tricks and demands. We can practice being mindful of the Hungry Ghost, learn how to relate to it and live in harmony. Educational Objectives: 1)Identify the ‘Hungry Ghost’ dynamic and identify how it interferes with mindful eating. 2)Examine the reaction to want to "get rid of" and/or destroy the Hungry Ghost rather than learn how to relate to it mindfully. 3)Identify specific skills to help clients mindfully nourish the ‘Hungry Ghost’ Within.
