- Mental Health
In this episode, I am joined by Elisa Mott-Jones, Ed.S, NCC, LMHC, Health At Every Size (HAES) Advocate, published author, and national speaker on yoga, eating disorders, and body image. She has worked at the nation's top eating disorder facilities across the country where she has designed mindful movement groups for children, adolescents, and adults. Her pieces express who she is as a woman, partner, daughter, yogi, and dancer, and reflect her own journey to healing. She currently has a virtual private practice based in Palm Beach Gardens, FL, and now teaches a virtual yoga class for participants across the country seeking freedom from anxiety, trauma, disordered eating, and body image concerns.
TOPICS DISCUSSED:
• How those with eating disorders can be both hypersensitive and detached from their body.
• The role of music, especially with adolescents, to create a window to someone's emotional state when they do not have the words to articulate.
• The ways in which grounding exercises can bring the body back into the therapy room.
• How yoga can offer a feeling of control after traumatic experiences.
• Yoga is not about “working out,” but rather “working in.”
• How connection and support from others can provide a connection with self.
