✺ Frequently asked questions ✺
-
Yes! All of my courses and programs are available from anywhere in the world. Calls take place on Mondays @ 1pm EST (so adjust time zones accordingly) and recordings are provided.
-
This course addresses the cognitive and the somatic. If you find that somatic practices are activating for you, the invitation is to take a break or stop the practice. This course is NOT intended to replace 1:1 trauma therapy. Please consult with your trauma-informed therapist if you aren’t sure if this course is appropriate for you.
-
Somatic work and nervous system regulation go hand-in-hand with recovery from disordered eating. This course will not “cure” binge eating, however. This course is recommended to work in conjunction with an ED-specialized program as applicable. I found that nervous system regulation elevated my healing post-recovery, but it can also be supportive pre- or during a recovery journey.
-
This course is different from my other courses because it offers a broader perspective of healing; it is NOT a food/body image specific course. While regulation does have a lot to do with food & body image, this course is not geared primarily towards that.
However, because my areas of expertise largely do focus on food and body image, my course does offer an integration of these concepts alongside nervous system healing. Conversations and examples will likely move in that direction at times during the course.
When choosing between courses, you want to keep in mind who you resonate with as a practitioner. Every course is different because every person has a different dynamic and lens that they bring to the course. If you resonate with my content in general, you will likely resonate with this course!
-
This is a beta run of this course, which means it’s the first time I’m running it. Depending on feedback, I will fine tune the course and will likely run it annually. However, the beta run will be the lowest cost version of this program.

If you think this program is exactly what you need but cost is your only obstacle, please contact me.

I am currently in training to become a Somatic Experiencing therapist with SEI (Somatic Experiencing International). From the SEI website:
“We are the leading authority on the SE™ method and is a major provider of training and educational programs. SE is a body-oriented therapeutic model that helps heal trauma and other stress disorders. Developed by Peter Levine, Ph.D., it is the result of the multidisciplinary study of stress physiology, psychology, ethology, biology, neuroscience, indigenous healing practices, and medical biophysics, with more than 45 years of successful clinical application.”
Please note that I am still in training at the Intermediate Level and this course covers content reflecting that level of certification only. This is a beginner course.
