Does Every Woman Have an Eating Disorder?
In this presentation, Dr. Rosenfeld explores America’s obsession and drive toward thinness
that has exploded over the last decade. What was once considered abnormal and unhealthy
in regard to eating and body-image behavior is now considered matter of fact. The bottom
line is that most women today have some type of eating disorder.
Dr. Rosenfeld examines the excessive daily messages we receive about food and our bodies
through the media and celebrities, as well as the bombardment of conversations between
friends and family. The current fat-phobia epidemic and the dieting culture explosion is
everywhere we turn. How can we escape it?
Dr. Rosenfeld discusses eating disordered symptoms that we might not necessarily see as
disordered. She examines how to counter these messages, arriving at a cultural zeitgeist that
is less eating-disordered focused. She provides tools for how to insulate ourselves against
the barrage of messages impacting our collective body image and self-esteem.
Dr. Rosenfeld stresses audience participation, inviting attendees to examine and challenge
their ideas about food and their bodies.
Estimated length of lecture/workshop is one hour, with question and answers.
How to Raise an Eating-Disorder Free Child
This lecture can be adjusted for parents of daughters of varying age groups (elementary
school age, ‘tween years, teen years, college bound, etc).
In this talk, Dr. Rosenfeld discusses the recent explosion of eating disorders starting at
earlier and earlier ages (as young as five) and now taking on different shapes and forms that
are often even more dangerous. Why are young children showing disordered eating
behaviors so early on?
Dr. Rosenfeld provides comfort and insight for parents and explores specific proactive tips
and strategies on how to reduce the likelihood that your daughter will develop an eating
disorder. She answers the questions parents are afraid to confront. What foods should you
have in the house? How should you talk to your daughter about how she looks without
emphasizing her weight? Should you encourage your daughter to exercise? What if you
notice she is getting heavy?
During the lecture, Dr. Rosenfeld describes specific warning signs of eating disorders so that
parents can be on the active lookout for symptoms. She then offers tips on how to intervene
if you notice your daughter is struggling with these concerns.
Estimated length of workshop/lecture is 45 minutes, including questions and answers.
Family Fallout: Coping with Eating Disorders
In this presentation, Dr. Rosenfeld addresses what happens in a family when someone is
diagnosed with an eating disorder. What types of emotions do family members experience?
How do they cope? Is there a possibility that other family members (e.g., siblings) may
subsequently develop an eating disorder? Are there ways to reduce the likelihood of
someone developing an eating disorder? Dr. Rosenfeld tackles these questions and more by
presenting original research and case studies, suggesting how eating disorders may become
family issues. She offers tools for self-care, family preservation, and coping with family
fallout in the face of an eating disorder diagnosis. Audience participation is encouraged.
Estimated length of talk is 30 minutes, with ample time for Q & A.
How Much Exercise Is Too Much?
As both a psychologist specializing in eating disorders and sports psychology, and a certified
personal trainer, Dr. Rosenfeld tackles the diagnosis of exercise addiction.
While we are all familiar with the benefits of exercise, few people are aware that going
overboard when it comes to exercise has serious physical and psychological consequences.
People with an addiction to exercise often have other issues that could include disordered
eating, distorted body image, and other addictions.
In this lecture, Dr. Rosenfeld addresses questions and strategies many people are afraid to
ask -- or to take a look at in their own life. How often should I really be exercising? At what
intensity should my workouts be? When does exercise become an addiction? How do I
know if I am addicted? How can too much exercise be bad for you?! What is wrong with
working out daily?
Dr. Rosenfeld provides tools and tips for incorporating healthy exercise into your lifestyle,
and opens up a discussion on this condition.
Estimated length of lecture/workshop is 45 minutes, including questions and answers.
Lose the Diet, Eat in Peace
Dr. Rosenfeld explains why diets simply do not work, and discusses how and why people on
diets end up losing and gaining weight repeatedly, across the board. She offers evidence that
diets are not the best approach for weight-loss, and that they keep people from developing
healthy relationships with food.
Dr. Rosenfeld describes the successful technique of intuitive eating--eating when you are
hungry and stopping when you are full. In this lecture she helps participants identify when
and what to eat and how to know their hunger and satiety cues. Specific intuitive eating
strategies are provided.
Finally, Dr. Rosenfeld leads the audience in a brief eating exercise to encourage more
mindful eating.
Estimated length of lecture/workshop is one hour, with questions and answers.
How to Love Your Body (or at Least Accept It)
In this talk, Dr. Rosenfeld explores our collective body dissatisfaction and examines the
root of the problem.
She discusses and debunks various body image myths in depth (e.g., “If I am thinner I’ll be
happier. . .”). The audience will be engaged in specific exercises geared toward improved
body image, both during the presentation and beyond.
Dr. Rosenfeld explores the pros and cons of fixation on body shape and size and encourages
a larger focus on self-esteem.
This lecture/workshop is 45 to 60 minutes long.
Social Drinking: How Much Is Too Much?
Alcohol use occurs on a continuum, between social drinking, alcohol abuse and then
dependence.
In this presentation, Dr. Rosenfeld helps participants identify what constitutes problem
drinking. Participants take a private self-test and explore their current relationship with
alcohol.
Dr. Rosenfeld focuses on the thin line between healthy and unhealthy drinking and offers
strategies to moderate alcohol use. She also discusses what next steps to take if problem
drinking is identified.
This workshop is interactive and the estimated length is 45 to 60 minutes.
How to Compete in your First Marathon, Triathlon, or Other Road Race
In this interactive talk, Dr. Rosenfeld helps first-timers take the plunge to their first
marathon/triathlon.
Blending her expertise from sports psychology, clinical psychology, and personal training,
as well as her own experience competing in marathons and triathlons and serving as Chief
Psychologist for the NYC Triathlon, Dr. Rosenfeld explains the nuts and bolts of physical
and mental preparation for the race.
She details a beginner’s training schedule, paying special attention to managing time,
preventing injuries, and anticipating race day. She then discusses psychological techniques
to enhance training, manage the mental race, and cope with pre-race jitters. She goes over
strategies such as visualization, dissociation, goal setting, and emotional regulation.
Dr. Rosenfeld encourages participant questions and feedback throughout this workshop.
The estimated length of this presentation is 45 minutes.
