Help Heal Your Clients' Relationship with Food and Body

When your clients engage in emotional or disordered eating, they are likely in a dysregulated and disembodied state. As a therapist, your best interventions will be those that help your clients calm the nervous system and get back into their bodies – the place where natural cues for hunger and fullness reside.

In this video, Ann Saffi Biasetti, PhD, LCSWR, CEDS, specialist in eating disorders and somatic psychotherapy, shares with us a body scan to create interceptive awareness – the internal register of our sensory experience. Use this exercise in your next session to help your clients bring back their internal sensory signals that have been lost due to disruptors like chronic dieting and trauma.

And if you want to learn more, join her during her in-depth training Emotional and Disordered Eating: Trauma-Informed Clinical Tools to Heal Your Clients' Relationship with Food and Body, where you’ll discover how to integrate the body in treatment in a way that fosters real change in your clients’ relationships with food and their bodies!

Emotional and Disordered Eating digital seminar
When your clients struggle with eating, your first move as a therapist may be to develop plans for specific behavioral changes - a list of things clients can do instead of reaching for the fork or limiting food intake.

But these efforts won’t work over the long term. Emotional eating – and the eating disorders it can become – is rooted in nervous system dysregulation and disembodiment that behavior change strategies alone won’t shift.

Join Ann Saffi Biasetti, PhD, LCSWR, CEDS, specialist in eating disorders and somatic psychotherapy, for this in-depth training where you’ll discover how to integrate the body in treatment in a way that fosters real change in your clients’ relationships with food and their bodies!

Register today to help clients manage what is happening on the inside to build resilience, improve emotion regulation, and establish a new compassionate and forgiving relationship with their body!
