The Body Experiencing Pathway
Pathway Overview
Eating-disorder and trauma treatment often begin in the mind—but healing depends on the body. This comprehensive body image and eating disorder training for clinicians explores how sensory awareness, interoception, and somatic attunement can deepen both recovery and therapeutic effectiveness. We draw on emerging research in emotion science, mindfulness, and polyvagal theory to teach clinicians how to help clients reconnect safely with their bodies.

Foundational Pathways Into MED-DBT Training
Both the Eating Disorders Foundations Pathway and the DBT & Personality Pathway form the foundation for Learning MED-DBT, where the two streams converge.
Each pathway can be completed independently for CE credit, or sequentially for those pursuing comprehensive eating disorder training for clinicians.
Together, these training pathways reflect the core clinical ethos of The Eating Disorder Training Institute (EDTI):
