Presented by: Lacey Vogel, LMHC - Clinical Training Specialist, The Renfrew Center
Held Online
Trauma is defined not by the event but by the impact of the event on a person’s nervous system. Individuals who have experienced traumatic events often find themselves struggling to stay in their window of tolerance, experiencing constant hyper- and hypo-arousal symptoms that negatively impact daily living. This webinar will illustrate the ways individuals may use eating disorder behaviors to regulate their systems and get back into their windows, often to the detriment of long-term health. The presentation will provide psychoeducation on the window of tolerance, trauma and the brain, and how certain eating disorder behaviors impact different parts of the autonomic nervous system. We will introduce interventions that may be useful for those recovering from both an eating disorder and trauma, with a specific focus on self-regulation and countering unsustainable coping strategies.
