Individuals suffering from eating disorders and trauma tend to ignore, avoid and suppress the emotional experiences of living in their bodies. This includes interoceptive emotion experiences, which can feel confusing, overwhelming, and for some, unsafe. Instead, the focus shifts to behaviors that reinforce emotion avoidance and provide an illusion of safety and control. Implementing therapeutic methods such as art and dance/movement therapy, that allow for recognition of emotions and process from the experience of what emerges expressively, can provide clinical depth that words alone cannot reach. Individuals already express their non-verbal emotions through their body language, dress, and demeanor. The experiential clarity inherent in physicalizing and amplifying interoceptive experiences, through creative arts therapies, allows for insights to arise to the surface, thereby increasing identification and understanding of what is driving the disordered coping mechanisms.
