Sensory modulation as an intervention for clients with a dual diagnosis of borderline personality disorder (BPD) and disordered eating

Sensory modulation is a bottom up approach that is more accessible when an individual is in crisis. This session will consider the evidence for the use of this approach for service users with a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder and disordered eating as well as benefits and potential barriers to its implementation in practice.
