**You do not need a diagnosis, or proof of diagnosis, to enroll

About This Workshop
Because no one should have to face an eating disorder alone, this ONLINE workshop is professionally facilitated and promotes self discovery in a safe space.
Join Occupational Therapist Sara Kreklewich for an interactive presentation and facilitated discussion.
Interoception is the body’s eighth sensory system that helps connect the body’s physical sensations to our emotions. In this 2 week workshop we will explore:
- what interoception is and how it connects to emotional regulation
- how to improve our interoceptive awareness through discussion and implementing strategies
- connecting body sensations to emotions and identifying strategies that help us to feel regulated
- the role sensory based strategies can play in recovery
- how to choose sensory based strategies that feel good for us
*Attended our previous interoception workshop? Learn new ideas and strategies to strengthen your interoceptive awareness!
