Description

What happens when we move beyond talking about healing and begin to experience it? This presentation introduces an experiential and somatic approach to eating disorders treatment, emphasizing the integration of body-based awareness with creative interventions. Through guided exercises and reflection, participants will explore how moving beyond cognitive insight can enhance engagement, regulation, and therapeutic outcomes.

Learning Objectives

Participants will be able to:

  • Explore the role of somatic and experiential interventions in supporting eating disorders treatment beyond cognitive insight alone.

  • Identify how creative, body-based practices can enhance emotional awareness, regulation, and therapeutic connection in clinical work.

  • Demonstrate experiential exercises that offer practical tools for integrating embodiment and experiential approaches into eating disorders treatment.

Educational Goal

Participants will explore how trauma-informed, values-based, and experiential approaches can complement traditional eating disorder treatment, creating opportunities for deeper healing and sustainable recovery.
