The Center for Mindful Eating

About the issue

This issue of Food for Thought investigates the intersection of trauma, disordered eating, and the role of mindfulness in supporting recovery.

In “Mistaken View: How You See Survivors,” Char Wilkins, MSW, LSCW, discusses how mindfulness can help both clinicians and clients recognize the strength and wisdom of survivors of abuse.

Alice Rosen, MSEd, LMHC, discusses the role of mindfulness in trauma informed therapy. As Alice describes in “Mindful Intervention with Trauma Survivors Seeking to Repair Their Relationship with Food and Body,” trauma informed therapy continuously prioritizes the need for physical and emotional safety during the therapeutic process.

The educational Handout, “Recovering from Traumatic Experiences through Mindfulness,” by Cecilia Clemente Ph.D, Psych.D explains for clients how trauma affects the brain and how mindfulness can mitigate these effects.

The scripted meditation, “Walking Meditation,” by Cuca Azinovic, Certified Mindfulness Teacher, is a grounding meditation practice, designed to calm the mind by anchoring it in awareness of bodily sensations.
