This 90-minute, pre-recorded video webinar is intended for eating disorder professionals seeking to understand eating disorder behaviors through a Polyvagal lens. After offering this training live for the past two years and receiving positive feedback from participants, I decided to make it available for purchase. This webinar would be an amazing resource for you if you are seeking to understand eating disorders from a trauma-informed, nervous system informed, neurobiological perspective and if you want to learn more about integrating body-based, somatic, and “bottom-up” approaches to recovery.

Learning objectives for this webinar include:

• Participants will describe a basic understanding of the Polyvagal Theory, including characteristics of each of the 3 nervous system states (Ventral Vagal, Sympathetic, and Dorsal Vagal)

• Participants will categorize common eating disorder behaviors within the 2 self-protective nervous system states

• Participants will discuss how eating disorder (ED) behaviors function as misguided attempts for self-regulation, perpetuating nervous system dysregulation and the use of behaviors
