Description

Every therapist has seen clients express embarrassment over their body size, regardless of where they practice or who they see. This shame is sometimes dismissed as an unpleasant aspect of our cultural norms, but when people are at odds with their bodies, it affects their career, relationships, and self-worth, frequently leading to anxiety and despair. To combat weight stigma and its harmful effects, doctors must acquire an alternative therapeutic paradigm for supporting physical and psychological well-being for persons of all sizes.

Beyond a Shadow of a Diet: The Comprehensive Guide to Treating Binge Eating Disorder, Compulsive Eating, and Emotional Overeating, co-authored by Judith Matz, LCSW, has been termed “the new bible” on this issue for professionals. The Diet Survivor’s Handbook: 60 Lessons in Eating, Acceptance, and Self-Care was an Amazon best-seller and a popular resource for therapists to utilize with clients. She is also the author of Amanda’s Big Dream, a children’s book that encourages youngsters of all sizes to chase their aspirations. Judith maintains a private clinic in Skokie, Illinois, where she works with individuals who want to get off the diet/binge cycle and learn to be comfortable in their own skin. Judith has helped thousands of people acquire self-care techniques that promote physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being without focusing on weight reduction through individual therapy, groups, seminars, lectures, and publications. She is committed to assisting people in overcoming their concern with food and weight through educational programs. Judith got her MSW at the University of Michigan and her post-graduate degree at Chicago’s Michael Reese Hospital, where she was educated in the treatment of eating disorders. Judith is a regular writer to the Psychotherapy Networker magazine and a popular conference speaker. Her work has been featured in publications such as the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Allure, Fitness, Self, Shape, Today’s Dietitian, Diabetes Self-Management, NBC News Chicago, and Huffington Post Live, and she features in the documentary America The Beautiful 2.
