When is a snack not just a snack? Most therapists know that when it comes to trauma treatment, the body can be an invaluable resource. But rarely do we consider our clients’ relationship with food as part of the work. In this workshop, you’ll learn a revolutionary approach that shows what your clients’ eating habits and food choices reveal about their nervous system, activation patterns, and unmet emotional and biological needs. Together, we’ll zero in on how chemicals like adrenaline and cortisol drive eating behaviors, and through interactive exercises, somatic practices, and live demonstrations, you’ll learn practical tools that will help you better address your clients’ trauma symptoms and their relationship with food—even if you’re not a nutritionist! You’ll also learn:
• How to recognize when clients use their “internal pharmacy” to manage freeze and hyperarousal
• How to integrate parts work into conversations about nutrition
• The science of adrenaline and its role in cravings and addiction
• Practical somatic exercises to help clients metabolize stress
