On my last podcast episode, Heidi Andersen and I had a fantastic discussion about embodiment and how vital it is to be in your body in order to heal your relationship with it.  (If you didn't listen to it yet, check it out here!)   After Heidi and I recorded that episode, I told her she had an open invitation to come back onto the show and expand on anything that we had just discussed. This invitation turned into the idea of her walking me through some embodiment exercises on the show that you could do as well. We immediately scheduled another recording and voila!  This week's episode was done! Just a reminder about Heidi and why she's the perfect person to be talking about this topic.  Heidi is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Supervisor, Certified Body Trust® Specialist, Certified Safe and Sound Protocol Provider, Registered Yoga Teacher and Embodiment Specialist. She currently supports clients with Reclaiming Beauty, an outpatient group practice of body-centered psychotherapists specializing in weight inclusive treatment for the intersection of trauma, attachment wounds, and eating disorders through a body liberation lens and somatic approach. Heidi believes embodiment heals and combines her studies of Somatic Internal Family Systems, Embodied Recovery for Eating Disorders, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and the Center for Body Trust® in her support of her clients. She is also the author of the Reclaiming Beauty Journal and Wisdom Deck, a resource created to support women in building a self-compassionate relationship with their body. As we discussed in last week's episode, Heidi defines embodiment as:   The ability to land safely in our body in the present moment, just how we are. For many of us, this takes some practice, patience, and guidance.  And this is where Heidi comes in.  When we discussed this episode, Heidi told me that she had a "million" embodiment exercises.  In the interest of time, she chose to do three. We start the episode with talking about why it's so important to work toward embodiment.  Some of the many reasons for this are: Noticing how your body can be a resource (this might be news to your parts!) Learning how your body can help you regulate your nervous system Helping to shift the "violent" thoughts we tend to send toward our bodies  Feeling comfortable with no longer avoiding your body Heidi then walks me through three different exercises, checking in with my parts as we go along.  It was an insightful experience for me, and I know it will be for you too! Again, connecting with your body is a necessary part of healing your relationship with it, and I hope that these exercises help you to either begin that journey or further the work you're already doing.  Take a listen!

On this week's episode, I'm speaking with Certified Body Trust® Specialist Heidi Andersen about the topic of embodiment, something that she sees as vital to the healing of food and body issues.  And in case you're not quite sure how to define embodiment, Heidi describes it as: The ability to land safely in our body in the present moment, just how we are. How lovely is that??  Can you image how your food and body issues would just melt away if you experienced this? Let me back up here for a minute and introduce Heidi to you. Heidi Andersen is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Supervisor, Certified Body Trust® Specialist, Certified Safe and Sound Protocol Provider, Registered Yoga Teacher and Embodiment Specialist. During her therapist career, she has worked as a therapist in residential, PHP, IOP and outpatient levels of care with people struggling with eating disorders. Heidi currently supports clients with Reclaiming Beauty, an outpatient group practice of body-centered psychotherapists specializing in weight inclusive treatment for the intersection of trauma, attachment wounds, and eating disorders through a body liberation lens and somatic approach. Heidi also provides consultation, mentorship and consult groups for professionals, as well as trainings, workshops and retreats. Heidi believes embodiment heals and combines her studies of Somatic Internal Family Systems, Embodied Recovery for Eating Disorders, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and the Center for Body Trust® in her support of her clients. She is also the author of the Reclaiming Beauty Journal and Wisdom Deck, a resource created to support women in building a self-compassionate relationship with their body. As you can see, she really knows what she's talking about! Heidi and I cover a lot of ground in this episode, but the key takeaway is this:   you must heal your relationship with your body in order to heal your relationship with food.  I'll let Heidi say it herself: “You can't really heal what's happening in the body unless you really bring the body to the forefront.” Heidi discusses how previous (and unfortunately current) eating disorder treatment models don't involve the body at all--they're merely focused on the mind.  This makes absolutely no sense, since eating disorders are very often a result of body shame and/or a disconnection from the body.  Therefore, working on being in your body is a giant piece of the work. On this episode, Heidi and I also talk about:  How to talk about size and weight with clients Why anger can help us heal the shame that we've internalized The fact that diet culture is a reflection white supremacy culture, colonization, and racism  How embodiment is the antidote to body image issues Why it's wrong to say that body image is the last part of the process of healing from an eating disorder How to start becoming more embodied We also talk about the three categories of protectors that Heidi tends to see disconnecting us from our bodies.  Those are: Self-Objectifying parts (those who have learned that you're an object, not a subject) Parts who are invested in diet culture as an attachment figure Parts who use disembodiment to avoid pain that the body is carrying related to past trauma As you can see, we covered a lot!  Take a listen!

Kate is a contributing author to the recent Guidelines written for combining SE and SSP in clinical practice.

During today's episode we dig into some of this, and we really explore the creativity Kate brings to her work with clients.

Halie is here to tell us about her story of addiction, her recovery journey, her work and the Embodied Recovery Community she built to support women in recovery.

Creators of the Embodied Recovery for Eating Disorders model, Paula Scatoloni (LCSW, CEDS, SEP) and Rachel Lewis (MS, EDS, LPC, LMBT) bring a wealth of experience in the field of eating disorder treatment, along with expertise in neurobiological and body-oriented approaches to healing.

Note: While this particular episode might be more intriguing for clinicians or folks in recovery from an eating disorder, I also believe there are nuggets in this conversation that will be intriguing to any listener with an interest in the body and psychology.You might think that working with the body would be a central component of eating disorder recovery.And from a standpoint of medical safety and nutrition, that has always been the case. But as far as working with the body as part of the actual biopsychological healing process? Not so much.The field of trauma recovery has come a long way in the past 2 decades, with a great deal of research showing us that we MUST go to the body (rather than exclusively relying on traditional talk therapy) if we want to help people heal more fully from trauma. Rachel Lewis and Paula Scatoloni have been on the leading edge of applying the learnings about the neurobiology of trauma and attachment to working with eating disorders, which almost always overlap with trauma and/or attachment issues, and historically have been viewed as one of the most challenging mental health issues to work with and recover from.Both coming from strong and varied backgrounds in somatics and psychology, Paula and Rachel co-developed the Embodied Recovery for Eating Disorders model of assessing and treating eating disorders. I had the privilege of taking the level 1 Embodied Recovery for Eating Disorders in North Carolina in 2017, and I am looking forward to taking the level 2 training in 2022.In this converastion, we talk more about what has historically been missing from eating disorder treatment, and explore some of the foundations underlying the ERED model. Embodied Recovery Institute: https://www.embodiedrecovery.org/For full bios and links to resources mentioned in the episode, visit the full show notes at http://gaiacenter.co/blog/bodyful-04

I am pleased to welcome Paula Scataloni and Rachel Lewis of the Embodied Recovery Institute to the Inner Alchemy Podcast. The body is such an inherent tool to healing, but we often ignore it for the cognitive instead. Rachel and Paula's purpose work is to show others how to get back in touch with this healing resource, especially as treatment for eating disorders.

In Embodied Recovery, I talk with Paula Scatoloni and Rachel Lewis Marlow about complex trauma and disordered eating from a sensorimotor and somatic psychotherapy perspective. Rachel and Paula also talk about their own history with trauma, disordered eating and working in this field, what is sensorimotor and somatic psychotherapy?, what is embodied recovery?, the body as a resource, what is the window of tolerance?, emotional regulation and dysregulation, attachment trauma, relational trauma,  interpersonal trauma, CPTSD and how one begins to heal from disordered eating and eating disorders.
