Hey everyone! I wanna say huge thanks to Elmira Strange, i really enjoyed these course, actually it was my first one on Udemy ^_^ Elmira explains every thing nice and clearly, so it was so easy to understand all information. It’s very interesting to understand psychology of ED. Now i can realize what they feel and how much they are suffering.

This course was a good source of information that was presented in a clear, easy to understand, and structured manner. However, I had hoped to learn more about the practical side of using CBT for eating disorders. I am glad I did the course, though, and think it was a good use of time.

My oldest daughter (N) had Anxiety Disorder, Depression and Chronic Pain, being a candidate for Eating Disorders, however she developed Major Depression and she didn't receive enough psychological treatment , but she was treated mostly with anti-depressants that made things worse, and made her suicidal. She died by suicide at age 21, after over 5 years of suffering. My youngest daughter developed an Eating Disorder (Anorexia Nervosa) soon after her sister died, She was in Hospital and continued therapy at home for one year. She is practically healed by following a strict diet program and one year of psychological treatment. We learned from experience and my youngest daughter was healed without any anti-depressants. My both daughters had similar symptoms of anxiety and were exposed to the same environment. Psychological treatment is expensive but it's worth it. Adolescents should not be treated with anti-depressants before age of 25, since all these drugs produce suicidal thoughts and behavior. This course was very useful for me to understand the cause of their problems. I look forward to other courses taught by you, Elmira. Thanks a lot! Corina

The course is very informative the only problem that it was little theoretical full of definitions and need more practical examples however the instructor she covered all the basics and I gained alot of knowledge by attending this course i would recommend it if you need a knowledge about the topic

Muchas Gracias por este curso, me pareció muy claro. Pude entender bien, aunque el ingles no es mi principal lengua. Si pudiera mas adelante agregar una session con un paciente real, para ver la dinamica de una sesión seria algo mas claro. Muchas Gracias Elmira!
By Viola Hanga Horvath on 5/21/2020
I find this course quite theoretical and basic level, after finishing this course I did not gain as much knowledge as I expected. If you have almost no psychological background this course is highly suited for you, but with psychological degree, there is a possibility that you will not be able to deepen your knowledge. Elmira's personality is so charming and helpful, she made the learning process so enjoyable.

Great overview of CBT and how it is beneficial for many disorders and issues. Very informative and gives great insight into how to assist a client with an eating disorder and promote recovery by using CBT and MI (stages of change), and Socratic dialogue for change.
By LUCA ELISA DE FREITAS GOULART on 6/8/2018
An excellent course about eating disorders that provides a complete insight about the application of CBT to deal with this type of disorder. The teacher explains the concepts in a very clear and concise way. So, I recommend this course for all people interested in the subject. As a suggestion for improvement, I would like to have a PDF document containing all the bibliographies recommended to learn more about the subject at the end of the course.
By Tex Ellis on 6/28/2017
This is a very good course to continue your understanding of and use of CBT to help people with their problems. The instructor was clear, the presentation style was useful, as the power point was able to help those who are more visual in their learning style, but the audio was easily just as useful for those who would download the lectures and listen to them on the go.
