Episode #2 Where to Begin?
New to ED? This one is for you. Know what you DON'T know and if you have an active ED, think twice before supporting others in their recovery journey. Jill and Mateus discuss the lack of education for undergraduate RDs in eating disorders and why learning about them, developing skills, supervision/consultation while practicing and more is vital to be safe, effective and ethical.
Know what you DON'T know is where you start. Understand the Dunning Kruger Effect.
Here are some articles to learn more: What causes the Dunning-Kruger Effect? https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/dunning-kruger-effect: Confidence is so highly prized that many people would rather pretend to be smart or skilled than risk looking inadequate and losing face.
Even smart people can be affected by the Dunning-Kruger effect because having intelligence isn’t the same thing as learning and developing a specific skill. Many individuals mistakenly believe that their experience and skills in one particular area are transferable to another. Why do people fail to recognize their own incompetence? Many people would describe themselves as above average in intelligence, humor, and a variety of skills. They can’t accurately judge their own competence, because they lack metacognition, or the ability to step back and examine oneself objectively. In fact, those who are the least skilled are also the most likely to overestimate their abilities."
