Ellyn Satter Institute

This webinar explores how fear, anxiety, trauma, and nervous system responses influence eating behaviors in individuals with food allergy and celiac disease. Particular attention will be given to recognizing when medically appropriate caution begins to shift toward anxiety-driven avoidance, rigidity, or restriction that may undermine Eating Competence and quality of life.

September 16, 2026, 12:30 pm CT – 2 pm CT

Pending approval for 1.5 Level II CEUs.

Follow the Satter Division of Responsibility when you feed yourself, too!

Feed yourself faithfully.

Have regular and reliable sit-down meals and snacks made up of food you enjoy.

Reassure yourself you will be fed.

Give yourself permission to eat.

At meals and snacks, eat what you enjoy and eat as much or as little as you want.

Notice as you learn and grow.

As you combine feeding yourself faithfully with giving yourself permission to eat, you will find that your eating falls more and more into place.

Normal Eating | Ellyn Satter Institute A good feeding relationship is rooted in trust between the parent and the child AND trust in each person’s internal abilities to regulate food intake and growth.

Do you believe - really, truly - that you're allowed to eat what and how much you want?

We'd like to talk more about how adults reclaim trust in their bodies and in their ability to feed themselves well. One of the first hurdles a person needs to clear is the belief that they have the right to eat food they LIKE, prepared in ways they prefer, and in amounts they find satisfying. Do you believe you're allowed to eat what and how much you want? If not, what are your personal stumbling blocks?

Here's where Ellyn lays out the major stepping stones towards becoming eating competent as an adult: https://www.ellynsatterinstitute.org/how-to-eat/

This one is for our parents! If mealtimes feel like a daily struggle — filled with negotiating, pressure, or preparing multiple meals only to have food left untouched — this program is designed to help. Grounded in Ellyn Satter’s Division of Responsibility in Feeding (sDOR), a feeding framework recognized by many physicians and pediatric experts as the gold standard in feeding, this four-part program will help parents better understand what is truly typical in child eating and why most picky eating does not require fixing.

Program starts June 17th!
