💟 final chance to register 💟

There comes a point in any practitioner’s journey when new tools aren’t enough.

What’s needed is a deeper shift in how we relate to ourselves, our clients, and the body itself.

Moving Through Barriers to Embodiment is a 2-module, in-person training for providers who have completed an Intro to ERED course and are ready to deepen their embodied presence.

Through embodied somatic exploration of neurological regulation and attachment theory, we’ll explore relational experiences that shape our sense of self and behavioral patterns associated with taking in nourishment.

This training explores clinical applications of foundational concepts, theoretical models, therapeutic maps and skills introduced in Tier 1 courses.
You’ll dive deeper into a nuanced and refined understanding of:
➤ Polyvagal theory + the Window of Tolerance
➤ The Action Cycle + Barriers to Action
➤ The Relational Cycle of attachment and defense
➤ How trauma lives in the body — and how to support healing from the inside out

If you have completed our ERED Tier 1 training, we invite you to explore this inquiry deeper with us.

In the Moving Through the Barriers to Embodiment training, we deepen our understanding of eating disorder behaviors through the lenses of the action cycle, relational movement cycle, and Polyvagal theory — maps that weave the neurological and developmental steps that support “normative eating.”

Through somatic practices and group learning, you’ll learn how to identify and work with the truncating experiences that have interrupted these cycles and the resulting adaptations that maintain ED behaviors, whilst supporting your clients move towards greater balance.

In the ERED model, eating disorder behaviors are not seen as pathologies to eliminate but as survival strategies rooted in the nervous system, relational history, and sensory experience.

These intelligent adaptations deserve to be listened to, heard and responded to.

This 3-day in-person training in NYC invites clinicians to explore a bottom-up, body-first framework that helps make sense of disordered eating in the context of a somato-social-psycho lens.

Rethink what recovery can look and feel like.
Reground your work in safe attachment, somatic safety and regulation.
Recover the story that is longing to be heard.
