A deep sense of shame often underlies and drives eating disorders and substance abuse. When these two disorders co-occur, the level of shame intensifies. The special challenges of treating these co-occurring disorders will be discussed and this presentation highlights shame as a key force underlying and perpetuating the cyclical nature of these disorders. Clinicians will learn how to identify and help individuals break the patterns of shame that drive destructive behaviors.

2. Participants will be able to articulate and identify the cyclical role that shame plays in the precipitation and perpetuation of these disorders.
3. Participants will be able to identify and articulate practical ways to help individuals break cycles of shame and destructive behaviors in ED and SA.
