Mindfulness, Embodiment, and Eating Disorders

This program is part of our Interprofessional Conversation series.

Eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating are significant challenges for treatment providers. Behavioral health professionals have become increasingly interested in using mindfulness as a tool in bringing about therapeutic change. This session will examine the use of mindfulness, as well as meditation, and yoga in the treatment of eating disorders. Theory on mindful embodiment, the most recent research, and practical applications will be shared from the research and clinical perspectives. Eat, breathe, thrive and mindfulness and yoga-based intervention for eating disorders will be introduced and a few specific techniques demonstrated.
