Using EMDR & Polyvagal Theory to Treat Trauma & Eating Disorders With Dr. Danielle Hiestand, LMFT, CEDS-S

Get ready for a fascinating chat with Dr. Danielle Hiestand, LMFT, CEDS-S, where we're digging into the power of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) and Polyvagal Theory to unlock new pathways in trauma and eating disorder recovery! Dr. Hiestand breaks down how these tools aren’t just fancy words but game-changers for the nervous system, helping people find calm, reconnect, and heal in profound ways. Whether you're curious or already a fan of these approaches, this episode is packed with mind-blowing insights, practical takeaways, and a dash of nerdy neuroscience fun.
HEAR FROM DANIELLE ABOUT DANIELLE!
I have been passionate about learning and helping others most of my life. I am originally from Northern California and was overjoyed to study at University of California, San Diego and to live near the ocean. After receiving my Bachelors of Science in Cognitive Science, Neuroscience and Psychology I stayed in San Diego to complete my doctorate in Marital and Family Therapy at Alliant International University and become a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT #48529).
​While at college, I took a course on eating disorders and began to volunteer with a program that focused on eating disorder prevention. I knew I wanted to be a therapist and help people heal and recover from their eating disorders. I planted my roots in San Diego and began working at an eating disorder treatment program. It was clear early on that most of my clients had a trauma history. Some had never called what they went through “trauma,” but could see how their life experiences had contributed to the development of their eating disorder. Others knew they had gone through something that still bothered them in the present, but didn’t know how to talk about it or how to heal. 
​During this time I acquired extensive experience treating anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, complex PTSD, dissociative disorders, depression, and anxiety. I also began my training in EMDR therapy; a treatment that has become crucial to my therapeutic approach. To help clients on their journey toward healing I also utilize systems theory, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), acceptance commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness. My overall goal is to work collaboratively with clients in order to honor their treatment goals.
In 2013 Kelly Hinds, RDN and I created Savor Podcast. For three years we recorded episodes on nutrition, body image, mindfulness, yoga, eating disorders, dieting, EMDR therapy and beyond. Past Savor podcast episodes are available here.
Before starting my family, I was an adjunct professor at University of California, San Diego, Alliant International University and San Diego State University. I taught classes on eating disorders, stress management, social psychology, and assessment. After my family started to grow, I decided to slow down and work part-time in my Mission Valley private practice in San Diego, California. 
I work toward providing a calm, safe and grounded space for you to feel comfortable sharing your successes and your struggles. A journey back to self always has ups, downs and surprises. Together we can navigate how to find tools and strategies to help you cope and make space for yourself.
In my free time I enjoy spending time with my husband and two daughters. I also love swimming, paddle boarding, and hiking.

An Eating Disorder Recovery Story Across Two Countries With Anne Richardson @theeatingdisordernutritionist

I chat with Anne Richardson, aka @theeatingdisordernutritionist, to explore her incredible journey of eating disorder recovery across two countries—France and England. Anne shares how navigating different cultures, varying levels of anti-fat bias, and personal challenges shaped her path to healing. From confronting food anxieties in a small village in France to building a support network abroad, her story offers a unique perspective on the complex process of recovery. Whether you’re on your own journey or supporting a loved one, Anne’s experience provides inspiration and valuable insights. Let's dive into her powerful story!
ABOUT ANNE RICHARDSON
Anne specializes in eating disorders and is a Devon, England, UK registered nutrition therapy practitioner. She is very active on Instagram @theeatingdisordernutritionist. Two things I really like about Anne is her authenticity and her witty sense of humor. I also appreciate that she is an anti-diet dietitian in the UK who is very clear about not focusing on weight loss in her nutrition practice. She also loves food and knows how to cook fun things. I’m excited for you to learn more about her in this episode. :)
Anne has been doing a diploma in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in the last three years, so she combines nutritional therapy with CBT skills or "nutritional counseling.”
