Rather than feel alone or isolated, Eating Disorder Hope encourages the community to register and join us in this free BED Google Hangout and find hope and encouragement.

Q & A with Remuda Ranch Senior Fellow Jessica Setnick

What led you to Remuda Ranch?

As far back as I can recall I have been intrigued by the behavior of people around me, and trying to understand why we fall into certain patterns. This led me to major in anthropology in college, studying the long-term development of human behavior. When I took nutrition as an elective, my interest was piqued by the individual psychology of eating behavior. My fascination with the combination of cultural and personal influences on eating brought me to a desire to help individuals with eating disorders.

I was hired out of school by Children’s Medical Center in Dallas, as it began to develop an eating disorders treatment program. I started out spending half my time in pediatric psychiatry and the other half in endocrinology. Within two years, the eating disorder program had blossomed to the point that five dietitians replaced me when I left.

In 2000, I opened Understanding Nutrition, my private practice, which I loved. As other professionals came to me for advice, I started teaching Eating Disorders Boot Camp workshops, writing The Eating Disorders Clinical Pocket Guide, and traveling the country as a speaker. After 13 years, I closed my practice in order to concentrate on providing professional education. My hope was and is to educate primary level providers to identify dysfunctional eating behaviors in their early stages, so that no one goes for 20, 30, or even five years alone and afraid with an eating disorder.

Horses Can Help Uncover Personal Truths

By Colleen DeRango, MA, LISAC, SEP, Co-Facilitator of Equine Workshops

In my most quiet moments of reflection, I often recall what one client said in one of her somatic equine sessions:

"Nothing reduces my anxiety from a 9 to a 3 faster than being with a horse."

I don't know why this is, but I do know that it is my daily experience around these sacred beings who have blessed my life. In this world of addiction, trauma, and mood disorder treatment, we often spend time looking through the lens of pathology; whereas, in the presence of a horse, we seem to quite often be looking through the lens of authenticity. Horses somehow help us return to the truth of who we really are.

Horses can also often help us find a subtle, gentle, whole, connected sense of being. Being with another being. Being seen, being understood, being accepted it is deeper than the sensation of love. It is perhaps presence in communion.

REGISTER FOR SPIRIT: A SOMATIC EQUINE WORKSHOP

You can experience the gentle light of acceptance too, by attending one of our Spirit Equine Workshops. The Spirit workshop has a 5-day and a 3-day option. The next 5-day workshops will be offered on Sept. 7-11 and November 2-6. The next 3-day workshops are October 2-4 and Dec. 4-6. Register today as spaces are limited. Call 800-244-4949 for more information.

Runyan to Speak at Eating Disorder Conference - Remuda Ranch

Runyan to Speak at Eating Disorder Conference

Eating Disorder Treatment

The Southeast Eating Disorders Conference will take place in New Orleans, August 26-28. Remuda Ranch will be represented at the conference by Clinical Director Buck Runyan, who will be presenting on “Unveiling the Mysterious Relationship between Temperament and Eating Disorders.” The goal of the presentation is to inform treatment professionals of the common temperament traits of individuals with Eating Disorders. This knowledge may then allow for a developmental process of psychotherapeutic interventions that can facilitate a decrease in fear and shame, as well as eliminate many unnecessary conflicts that are common in treatment between a patient and their family. When each treatment participant has a support system that understands their temperament and personality, is educated well and effectively trained, their confidence for success improves significantly.
At the end of this presentation, attendees will be able to:

• Identify the common temperament profiles for eating disorders
• Apply individual results of these exams in the education and counseling of individuals and family members
• Develop a treatment plan strategically adapted for appropriate therapeutic interventions and applicable CBT/DBT skills training

Register Today!

Be a part of the evolution in understanding and treating Eating Disorders by attending the Southeast Eating Disorder Conference. In addition to Buck Runyan, you will hear from other current experts in eating disorders, including those with interests in the fields of Western, complementary and alternative medicines, broadening your view about working with Eating Disorders.
