Making sense of dysregulated eating through the lens of attachment trauma, neurobiology, and somatics. This workshop will provide cutting edge knowledge to work with those with "weighty problems." Overeating — to cope, to fill the void, to deaden self awareness. Integrating somatics with experiential skills to re-connect with the self.
Learning Objectives:
The attendee will be able to:
- Identify current thinking in the weight regulation field
