A brief description about this Activity.
Many of us understand the role that illogical thoughts and distorted cognitions playa role in contributing to eating disorders and body image disturbances. What a client thinks about themselves and their body is a common point of focus in much of the therapeutic inquiry. The cognitive piece is incomplete, however, if we do not also become curious about how the client inhabits their body, and why. This workshop will explore the role of exploring embodiment in eating disorder etiology and recovery. The ways our clients exist within their own body reveals a rich narrative that sheds insight into their trauma history, their nervous system, and their survival adaptations that simply can not be discovered using cognitive interventions. We will discuss and define embodiment and somatic work, and explore biological, sociological, and psychological (bio/psycho/social) aspects of how our relationship with embodiment both contributes to and reenforces the eating disorder behaviors our clients are trying to change. Attendees of this workshop will both learn how embodiment plays a role in the creation of the eating disorder and establish how embodiment is a critical and often neglected component of treating the eating disorder. Experiential and didactic interventions that bring the concept of embodiment into ED recovery and into session with a client will be demonstrated.
