Living in the Body, Not Just Treating It: A Whole Person Approach to Eating

Explore the intersection of ED and Trauma recovery in this talk that illuminates the importance and strategies for whole-person recovery.
About this Event

 Through eating disorder recovery, patients learn how to nourish their bodies, appreciate their bodies, and maybe even love their bodies, but many never learn how to live in their bodies. When trauma and eating disorders collide, a whole-person approach is essential to help patients reconnect with self-love, self-care, self-assessment, and the ability to live safely in their bodies. Blending both clinical expertise and lived experience, this presentation addresses the importance of expanding eating disorder treatment to include the simultaneous treatment of trauma and core issues. Tiffany Ingersoll, MA, LPC-S, LPCC-S (seasoned clinician, national speaker, and Clinical Director), provides a clinical perspective on why integrating trauma treatment is necessary for full healing.

Upon completion of this intermediate level presentation, you will be able to:

1. Describe the importance of concurrently treating eating disorders, trauma, and core issues to support sustained recovery.

1. Explain how trauma impacts the brain and identify strategies to help patients reconnect with their bodies in the present moment.

1. Apply somatic techniques to assist patients in moving from survival states (fight, flight, freeze) to a more integrated way of living in mind, body, and spirit.
