WORKING WITH CLIENTS HAVING BARIATRIC SURGERY

At BERNE HOUSE

with Sharon Baker CTA(P)

Saturday 11 May 2024

In this seminar, we will explore the reasons why clients may consider bariatric surgery.

This is a procedure to reduce the size of the stomach and there are several different types of surgery available. Bariatric surgery can be available on the NHS if certain criteria is met, and in private hospitals and abroad. Each provider uses a different frame of reference which we will explore.

Using a fictitious case, we will follow the journey of a client undergoing bariatric surgery, exploring ethical issues, internalised fatphobia, weight and size unconscious bias. We will explore what therapists need to know about the bariatric surgery process and how best to support clients using TA concepts such as contracting, ego states and discounting.
