Tarih: Date
On Monday, March 10, 2025, an online seminar titled "Disturbed Eating and Eating Disorders Focused on Emotional Eating" was held by Dr. Lecturer Nergis Hazal Yılmaztürk, a faculty member of the TED University Department of Psychological Counseling and Guidance.
In this comprehensive seminar, the psychological foundations of emotional eating behaviors, disturbed eating patterns and eating disorders were discussed in detail. Participants learned how individuals can instrumentalize eating behaviors to cope with emotional difficulties and how this can turn into pathological patterns in the long term.
Throughout the seminar, Dr. Yılmaztürk not only approached these issues from a theoretical framework, but also drew attention to the preventive, supportive and interventionist roles of psychological counselors in this area. The importance of the duties of psychological counselors, such as recognizing eating behaviors, supporting healthy body perception and referring them to relevant specialists when necessary, was emphasized.
The event, organized by the PDR Students Club (PDOK), was held with great interest from nearly eighty participants.
