Panel on “Preparing for the Holidays.”
Jeannie Riseman, Bonnie Bazill-Davis, Kitty Downey and LisaBri.
Holidays are always difficult, whether your abusers are still in contact with you, whether you have small children, whether friends have expectations, or whether you are all alone. We will share the difficulties we faced and some of our solutions. There will be plenty of time for attendees to dialog.

“Ritual Abuse Survivors and Eating Disorders.”
Do you find you have a love/hate relationship with food? Are there parts of you who are controlled by old messages about what you “have to” do with food and your body? Would you like to change your eating patterns but don’t know where to begin? This webinar will look at some of the psychology and brass tack basics about DID, eating disorders, and nutrition.
Elle Snow received her MSW at Smith College where she first became interested in studying DID from an International perspective. She has worked with populations such as the Meshketian Turks and Somali Bantus and has researched DID in Argentina and Japan. She recently spent a year in the war zone of Uganda, providing treatment to help child soldiers in their recovery from programming. She has a practice in Santa Monica and Redondo Beach, CA treating ritual abuse survivors and survivors of other torture.
