Understanding Eating Disorders through a Trauma-Informed Lens
A trauma-informed training for helping professionals who want to better understand eating disorders, body image, wellness, and how to show up with more compassion, curiosity, and care.
Eating disorders and disordered eating are more common and more complex than many people realize, and they are not defined by body size alone. This training offers an approach to understanding how food, body image, movement, shame, identity, and grief intersect.
In this training, participants will explore:
How eating disorders and disordered eating show up across body sizes, identities, and life experiences
The role of body image, shame, grief, and identity in recovery
Why nervous system safety, attunement, and connection matter
Language shifts that help people feel safer, more respected, and less alone
You do not need to have the perfect words to be helpful. Sometimes the most powerful support is simply being present, listening well, and creating enough safety for someone to stay connected to themselves.

“As someone who has been doing the work for over 2 decades, and knows quite a bit on the topic, this was extremely informative and something that I wish many more people had access to. You hit the nail right on the head with so many points. I really, really appreciated this!!! Thank you. I truly hope that this type of training becomes more normalized.”
