When we stop dieting and obsessing about food and weight, we set a boundary that allows us to start living our lives and meeting our own needs. Setting boundaries is a way to protect our integrity. By setting limits or saying no we are able to make choices based upon our own unique truth, instead of what we believe we “should” do or “should” eat or “should” weigh.Kathleen Bishop is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, and Gorski-trained Relapse Prevention Specialist. In private practice, she specializes in eating and body image problems. Kathleen is also a body-positive and size diversity activist who promotes Health At Every Size(R) principles to end stigma and mistreatment associated with weight in our culture.

When I first met Todd, I could tell he was a solid dude right away. He had a firm handshake, was soft spoken, and looked me in the eye. I think its safe to say that Todd is a mans man, but he is not afraid to show vulnerability or emotion. We had a great conversation, and I was honored to have met Todd and help share some of his story.

Tonight we’re talking about the importance of good after care following treatment: how to make a long term plan to stay clean, and how to create a long term plan for the family of addicts in recovery. Guests include Peter C. Johnson, a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor and Relapse Prevention Specialist, and Terry Cronin, a board licensed interventionist and Certified Alcohol and Addiction Counselor at Advanced Health and Education.
“Relapse” – What makes someone with 10 years of sobriety suddenly reach for a drink? Is relapse a failure of will power or a “part” of the recovery process? Dr. George Vaillant, Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and associate of the Dept. of Psychiatry at the Massachusetts General Hospital, and Peter C. Johnston, Alcohol and Drug Counselor and Relapse Prevention Specialist walked us through the stages of relapse, how to spot the warning signs, and how we can help prevent relapse in ourselves and our loved ones.
