The intersection of eating disorders, Polyvagal Theory and attachment/attachment theory is really important. It’s something I’m super interesting in and love teaching people about. 

It explains why trauma-informed eating disorder care is CRUCIAL. It explains why eating disorders are about so much more than food/body image. It explains our humanness and our innate need for felt safety, especially in relationships.

Eating disorders are complex, as are any other mental health struggles. And I believe that helping clients understand these complexities and the deep roots of the ED is an important part of healing.
