Episode 336: Eating Disorders, Trauma & Healing with Paula Scatoloni & Rachel Lewis Marlow

Today on the podcast I talk with Paula Scatoloni and Rachel Lewis Marlow on the topic of eating disorders, trauma, and healing. 

First, a shout-out to my sponsor: CPTSD Foundation has been successfully equipping complex trauma survivors and practitioners with compassionate support, skills, and trauma-informed education since 2014.

Paula Scatoloni, LCSW, CEDS, SEP is a somatic-based psychotherapist, Certified Eating Disorders Specialist, and Somatic Experiencing practitioner in Chapel Hill, NC. She has a private practice and has worked in the field of eating disorders for over two decades. Paula served as the Eating Disorder Coordinator at Duke University CAPS for nine years providing services to college-age students, offering workshops, and managing a multidisciplinary treatment team.  

Rachel Lewis Marlow is a somatically integrative psychotherapist, dually licensed in counseling and therapeutic massage and bodywork. She is a Certified Advanced Practitioner in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and has advanced training and 25 + years experience in diverse somatic therapies including Craniosacral Therapy, Energetic Osteopathy, Oncology massage and Aromatherapy.  

Embodied recovery is the first trauma-informed eating disorder treatment approach that really takes into account, the body's experience in the development and maintenance of eating disorders.

In this book, my guests blend somatic experiencing, sensorimotor psychotherapy, and body mind centering to offer a somato-sensory approach that is different from the current standard of care for eating disorders (DBT).
